I've been keeping my eyes open in thrift stores and such. One day I might score lucky!
Flea markets and antique malls are where I most commonly see them. Sometimes the belts are gone, but you can buy a replacement pretty cheaply. Just make sure the machine has it's shuttle or bobbin case and some bobbins (depending on the model). Those can be harder to come by than a belt! If you turn the handwheel and everything moves smoothly, you've probably got a good one.
Givio, I found the avatar online. I don't think it's fabric...
Fraew, your quilt is going to be amazing in those beautiful batiks.
