Hi Alan
This machine was made in Birmingham U.K. All the metal work was produced in Birmingham and Black country. The turned parts were made in Birmingham. The motor is Italian, Cima. The mains cable was made in Newcastle. The vibration mounts are Italian, the grip face UK, from nylon 66. Everything is top quality. Nothing Chinese, apart from possibly the bolts.
I built it for demonstration purposes thru my old company that no longer exists.
In its basic form it weighs 14kg but we have some bolt on slab weights that will make it 24kg.
I too am in Birmingham.
If you need anything else please give me a call.
