Nice find! I was going to warn you not to get a Clausing lathe. Half nut on the power feed was a high usage part that they quit making in the early 80's. Where I worked had one setting for years waiting on the half nut. Never found when they closed the doors in 9 years.

Don't be completely set on a Bridgeport mill. Lots of other Bridgeport clones out there that are just as good. I agree with Steve about ebay or finding 1 on the web. You must go see the machine and see it run if possible.
