Hit princess auto. They have a little dinky lathe that you should be able to move by yourself. I am not sure of the exact size, maybe 7x11. Not sure of the quality however. IIRC it has a power feed.

A good option is also busy bee ( run by the brother of the guy that runs grizzly). Put an add in your local Triad ( free buy sell and trade), I had a WTB in and got a bunch of calls on lathes.

If you are looking specifcally for an old craftsman type, try also searching atlas and southbend, they were the manufacturers of a lot of them.

BTW you can move a fairly good size lathe with just a pickup truck and an engine hoist. We got a 12x39 home that way, without pulling it off the stand.
