Default Good source for replacement smog pump?

My smog pump seems to be damaged - the pulley wobbles on it visibly. While I don't have to pass a smog check, I do want to keep it SCCA Stock legal for now, so that means I won't be able to delete it yet. All I've been able to find are remanufactured ones, usually A1 Cardone (not exactly a good reputation) or NAPA's house brand. Any thoughts on sources for a good one - or at least one that isn't likely to seize and damage the belt even if it doesn't really work?

Not sure if you are interested in used or not but there have been several recently for sale in the for sale section of this forum. I think one of them was even recently rebuilt.

I got mine at NAPA, seemed to fit as it should and no problems so far.

Thanks, everyone! Looks like this forum just might be the answer, since I don't mind used parts in good shape.
