Ed, I don't know how far afield you're willing to travel, but a forum member is selling a lathe in the forum classified section that might suit you well. It's a Jet 1221 that is similar to and maybe a little superior to the Delta, and you can get parts and support for it.
Another suggestion that worked out for me, is to contact nearby turning clubs or check out their newsletters. The newsletters often have classifieds, and club members often know about other members that are thinking about selling their lathe. You can find a listing of AAW local chapters on the main web site, woodturner.org.
