I ended up going to a huge Restaurant supply store that someone had suggested and I found a great manual juicer for $30.00, very similiar to juicers going for $100 or more other places. I had never been in a restaurant supply store before, but I'm in love with it -- they have the coolest stuff! In addition to all the bar supplies you could want, I found all kinds of marinades, sauces, and syrups, including orgeat. I also picked up a dozen of those no drip bottle spouts for a $1.50 so I won't waste any more precious rum.
