Leads on best place to buy attachments

[Zman0690]

I've recently come to own a 101.28990 that I'm tearing down, cleaning and relubing but was curious if there is any other place besides eBay to but attachments for these 12" craftsman/atlas lathes. Mine came with pretty minimal tooling, 3 jaw chuck, QCTP, jacobs super chuck and a live center. Obviously not nearly enough to turn longer items and the through hole size guarantees, I assume, I'm going to need a steady rest. Please bear with my ignorance as I'm completely new to lathes but am trying to learn by reading several hours each night. Hands on will come when I get this things setup properly.

Many of the common lathe parts sellers on eBay also have web sites. An internet search should turn some of them up.
