Hi I was pretty successful in getting in contact with Lakshimi.  They quoted me 59,000 rupees (2.8 million pesos) to ship via sea freight 3 machines.  They stated it would take 2 weeks to build the machines and 60 days to get here on the boat.  I opted to buy a santha as it came via air freight, but that was a mistake, it came fast but there was an additional 3 million pesos in taxes and naturalization.  I found a guy who does importing/exporting here in Medellin that said if I wanted to buy more machines, better to have him arrange to pick up at the factory in India to avoid all the taxes.  If you are interested in buying some machines, let me know, as buying many together might work out cheaper.
