Nice!! Looks kind of like a 5/6th scale Bridgeport J head. Power quill feed?? The table looks nice for its age - no oops drill or cutter marks.

Seems to be a great basic machine - plan on adding an X axis power feed and a 3 axis DRO? Looks right at home in the corner.

Millrite had a lube system that used a push type grease gun, be sure that you have a way to grease all the ways and screws.

@Shynon  agree with @lynnmor on the lubrication issue, use the good stuff , rated for temp and range, just finding something from back in the day is amazing , designed for no failures ,  good save , pete

Always nice to find a machine that is used - not used up.Kind of like WH tractors and old pickup trucks......
