Hi all,
Anyone know where I can get a small scale threshing machine?

Depends what you mean by small scale.  There are still occasional vintage ones available. 
I bought a 18in barn thresher last year (18in is the drum width - it's about 3.5m long) and I've come across a few others in working condition over the last couple of years.
There were small pedal powered ones made but I've only ever seen one so the chances of finding one for sale are small.

I got mine on Facebook marketplace.

Might experimental places sell them off from time to time, crop research?
