You and me both! before I started keeping an eye out for one I saw two or three for cheap and in good condition. Now I can't find one for less than $170, and most of them are either rust buckets or $4000 and fully restored.
Also would love a treadle/petal lathe and a saw, and a post drill. Few of them made it out to Colorado so they're rare and pricey here.
