the mill appears to have been made in England. Beaver Machine tools seems to be still in business - sent out an email to them for clarification if they were a dealer/parts supplier. Will let forum know when I hear back.
 
Here's some more data from the Vintage Machinery website.

Balding Engineering, Ltd. was founded in 1951 by Victor Balding. The first Beaver Milling Machines were shipped to the U. S. in 1962. The company thrived for some years, and by the 1980s was the "biggest family-owned machine tool builder in Britain". Foreign competition, misguided government policies, management missteps, and short-term-oriented bankers combined to force the company into receivership in 1992. The company did not survive.

Still waiting to hear back from Beaver Machine Tools.
