Try lathes.co.uk for info on just about every machine tool ever made, also has a sales and wanted section.

I had a South Bend, dad had a Myford 7, the two things that made me scream were the screwed on chuck, had to jam the backgear and use a large steel bar to unscrew it, and the limited size through the headstock, an inch really is the minimum. This does of course make for a larger machine, mine is a 5.1/2" Harrison.
