rdoty 1, Good advice from Zumba & Widgit. I'd include late 60's American iron as well. Don't forget Standard-Modern from Canada.
There were some fine lathes built in Japan as well, but I'd check on parts availability.
There are good English & other European machines as well (check on builders from East Europe), but again, parts?
You should be safe with brand name North American equipment.
