Maybe that's too cheap!
Do you have experience doing the conversions?

Ray, your Bridgeport setup looks real clean. I suspect you could find a market for it.
Were you to go forward, I would definitely investigate swapping the motors to the back side on the Y-axis and Knee.
They're current at about kneecap height!
