[PROJECT] Bridgeport Rebuild

[awemawson]

Bridgeport Grey changed considerably over the years. When I repainted my 1969 machine I went to considerable trouble to get the correct colour, contacting Braithwaites here in the UK who are run by ex Bridgeport staff. They put me in touch with the people who supplied Bridgeport here in the UK who looked up the specs for that year and mixed it for me. What I ended up with, to my surprise, has a distinct purple hue, but comparing it to similar serial number machines in dealers over the years (this was 20 years ago!) it IS right.
