Since you live in "The States" you might look for Beseler or Omega enlargers. The European enlargers are nice too but finding parts could be akin to finding 1980s Italian or German car parts in the states.
In "The States" it seems large format enlargers are getting harder to find. I'd just pony-up and pay the price if you find a good late model with all the accessories. I don't see the availability situation getting any better. Of course "NEW" is still an option for those that don't do their own refurbishing and repair work.
Large format enlargers available in the US were all expensive 'high-end' devices. Maybe similar to medium format photography equipment. You won't find GAF, Hasbro, Ricoh, Brownie, Instimatic, Lomo, Diana, Argus, etc. large format enlargers.
