Anyone know this Mill?

Well in the quest for new skills i am looking into a manual for this mill that has been sitting in my dads shop for a while and not getting the attention it should be. Just looking to see if anyone knows where to get a manual, not looking to spend 100$ but it may come to that. Thanks!

Looks like a Chinese copy of a Bridgeport with a variable speed head, i worked on a similar Bridgeport about 35 years ago, seem to remember the variable speed head was a bit on the noisy side

Made in China NT is China New Terrritories

MSC took over a lot of Enco stuff in the late 80's. I have an old lathe at work with a similiar story. Enco went bankrupt six weeks after this lathe was built around 1985. I'm not solid on that date though. They do have info and parts available for some of this old stuff. Friend of mine has the same machine I'm pretty sure.

Yep....^^^^^^^
During my apprenticeship I worked on one of these too......nothing wrong with it at all. Head is noisy as stated.
Not for NASA work....but it will make some bike parts!

Sounds good, not looking to do anything extreme with it. Mainly make some odds and ends like steering dampner mount or adapter for eyelet mount shocks, so i believe it will fit the bill quite well.
