I wanted one of these too...however I couldn't justify the cost so I youtubed the make your own version with a 5 gallon bucket and car buffer, anyways $30 and about 30 min of labor later I'm in business...and honestly it is the nuts and worked better than I could have ever imagined.
I "MIGHT" know where one is... It's a Diamond 16 ball cleaner... I'll check on it tonight if I get time before I leave for Tunica...
I have one myself and really like it!!!

If you are looking new, Donny (SDBilliards here) sells the single platter on Ebay for $450: Click here for the LINK You'd have to check on the shipping.
The Ballstar is selling at Pooldawg right now for $460 with free shipping. So you would save a little money over the Diamond because of the shipping but most would agree the Diamond is the best machine out there.
If you are interested in spending a lot less money for the DIY kind but don't want to tackle the project, try contacting John Schmidt here on AZB. Don't know if he is still, but he was recently making them for $125 shipped:

Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I just bought a 7ft Diamond Pro am. It would be nice to have a matching ball polisher but I kinda like the bucket idea. Im gonna try it. You guys are awesome. Thanks.

The Diamond machine is black. So unless your table is black it won't exactly match anyway.
If going the DIY route, check around here for some threads on the subject, in addition to the youtube videos. Some guys have fashioned home made sprockets to keep the balls separated during the spin cycle. This reduces marks on the balls from when they bounce off each other if not kept apart.
