Mesa ordering?? and Bridgeport Retrofit

Yes, current store turnaround for standard items is about 1 to 2 weeks

Hello PCW,

Here in Europe I am not able to get 7I80HD-16. Distributors claim that they are waiting for orders several month. There is also problems with 5I20. I can wait for some time, but nobody can't give me any dates. Do you know something more?

Thanks

Both 7I80HDs and 5I20s were out or stock, we just received 5I20s and 7I80HDs
should be available sometime next week

Been 6 months since I started the Bridgeport retrofit project, but in reality I've only spent around a week or so of real work on it, nothing beyond a screwdriver and wire cutters, was caught up with work and trying to graduate. Everything went great, no issues. Here she is up and running LinuxCNC with Mesa 5i25 and 7i77 all rewired for residential 230V. Total cost of under $500. Just needs a little calibration. If anyone stumbles on this post in the future, trying to do the same thing to a Bridgeport 300 or 308, don't hesitate to PM me.
