There's a one arm turner named Les Roberts who usually attends Turnfest in Qld. If you get into contact with Dave Drescher of Turnfest he might be able to pass his contact on to you.

Both are great blokes so get in touch through David. There was a Symtec lathe for sale a little while ago on Ebay or Gumtree but very very pricey for its condition etc.
