Don't forget the UK, where they were made. Canada and Australia got machines made in Scotland because we're all part of the commonwealth, and I don't think they ever made potted motor varieties there (I've never seen one). The later ones (from around 1953) were made of aluminium too, so very significantly lighter but same amazing stitch mechanism.
