Espresso Machine Junkyard?

It seems there must be a large pile of dead espresso machines somewhere. I'm talking about the commercial stuff like La Marzocco and the like. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction? I'd like to make a Frankenstein espresso machine and I'm looking for a saturated group as found on a La Marzocco. I'll also need a small boiler...
Thanks!

The best course to finding a scrap commercial coffee machine is

Find a major commercial equipment lease company as almost all coffee shops lease equipment
After a period of time they swap over / upgrade machines

These machines are sold for whatever they can get for them
Price is dependent on age and condition
