Is it worth it?

[Musing61@aol.com]

I have the opportunity to purchase a bridgeport milling machine for my shop
for $1000.  The machine is in good shape.  I would appreciate your comments,
ideas, etc. on the usefulness of this machine in my shop.  Is it worth it?
 Would other equipment be a better purchase?  Any and all info is
appreciated.
