Have you looked on eBay? I have not looked now, but there have been some reasonable looking DSG's listed over the past few months.
I took about a year of looking for a 1709 x 60 before I finally found a really good example at a sensible price. I saw some real rough machines which didn't match the sales descriptions.
Matrix clutch parts are ludicrously expensive (!!!!!) so make sure you can check the lathe under power.
Cheers Carl.
