Where are Kingston lathes made?
 

I was browsing an auctioneer's web page and noticed a company with some
gigantic late-model manual lathes up for auction. The brand is "Kingston".
Does anyone know what country these lathes are made in? Google didn't turn
up anything.

I'm just curious.

My money says they're made in the UK. I'm curious, too.

Some...some were made in Romania IRRC. They are indeed a decent
machine. Also if you see a "Lion", its also Romanian/Bulgarian and
is a very nice and solid machine.
