The right hand bracket has one free floating bearing, the left hand holds 2 bearings and is drilled and tapped for the 3 holes to capture the bearings. The left hand bracket can be on the left or the right, but the older right hand ones with no holes drilled or tapped cant go on the left...
It's most likely a 6F-C model, where they started mixing up the 6F and 8F together. The front plate is flat and says Bridgeport, but the dialholder has the spots for the 8F style handle. Obviously it could be that the previous owner just made do with what he could find. The easiest way to...
Parts of the saddle and table strike me to looking like a Knight, but an in between version. Doesn't look like the 20, 30, or 40 but doesnt have the round "knee" like the 1 through 4.

Thats what was getting me about this machine. I think I was looking at it too much like it being the original setup of the machine, which it clearly isnt. Looks like a rigid ram base, but from the turret up is an actual standard Series II.

It would help to know what unit you are talking about. It sounds to me like it is going to be the 6F cause you said Seco.
If it is a 6F, you should have 100VDC on the field wires (white and green) and between 0 and 90VDC on the black and red. It is rare that the motor on the 6F ones died...
