Winston,

Ebay and the Yahoo group suggested by Bill are your best bets. In either case you will need to be patient as they don't turn up very often in one particular size. As with everything, one will eventually turn up on ebay and if you outbid everyone in the world it will be yours.

I recently bought a navy blue 1978 753 Team Pro frame on ebay after about a year of looking. I just finished building it and it is a wonderful bike. Under 20 lb and a joy to ride.
