Slightly off the subject, but...

I'm looking for a cherry pitter.  My sour cherry tree runneth
over, and I can't pit them fast enough by hand.  A couple of stores
sell one-at-a-time pitters (you stick a cherry in, push a lever,
and the pit pops out), but that's slower than doing it by hand.
I need a machine that I can dump a whole pile of cherries in and
it'll feed them and pit them automagically.

So...anyone got an idea for where in the DC area to find such
a thing?  I've tried Kitchen Bazaar and Williams Sonoma, neither
of which could help.  A couple of people suggested a restaurant
supply house, but I don't know which ones are appropriate.  The
yellow pages lists a whole bunch of them...but most seem to either
(a) sell to the trade only (i.e., no retail) or (b) sell mostly
furniture and dishes rather than specialty equipment.

Pointers would be greatly appreciated!
