I just came into several Tekno Diecast machine shop machines, along with an electric motor and a line shaft.
The boxes say Denmark and/or Copenhagen.
Does anybody know anything about them or can anybody point me to a site on the web?

Here's their website.
Frank: Thank you!
I looked at their web site and could not find anything on the toy (model) machine tool line.
I wrote them. Hopefully they will have some information they can share.
I don't even have any idea of their age, but I am guessing 1950's to early 1960's.
I will try to get a few pictures posted today.
Tekno is since 1974 a Dutch company only making model trucks and renamed from Tekno Toys to Tekno. Here is a picture of some Tekno-Toys model machine tools:

Fred,
Thank you, but those model tools were made by Jenson, not Tekno. The texts states this. There is a set being offered on EBay right now: Jenson #100
I guess I am biased, but I think the Tekno tools are a little nicer. Here are a couple of photos:

When you look at the page of the link you see some Tekno Toys at the bottom, comparing them with Jensen!

Fred: Thank you! I guess I didn't scroll down far enough, or maybe the page wasn't fully loaded. My internet response seems awfully slow lately.
I found another web page with some photos.
The description indicates that the models are constructed of aluminum.
I believe the author is mistaken. I think they are ZAMAC.
