I see them on ebay for time to time, insanely over-priced (IMO), yes I
need one to build a treadle-lathe

Ebay just presents too many problems, Ralph..

I need someone that I can deal with and that will cooperate with paperwork so I
can get it into Mexico..

All I really need is something like an old Craftsman or Harbor Freight lathe
with a burnt out motor or something like that..

San Diego has a lot of surplus stores, and of course there is the San Diego
craigs list, and also a very active wood turning club (SDWT.com, I think) -
I'd try those sources - the last old crafstman lathe I got cost me a whole
$5 - it's gone now, but they are out there.
