I'd like to get the contact info for the companies which make vinyl
record manufacturing machines.  If the company or companies are no
longer in business, where should I go to buy a used one?

Hi dgulevsk,

Do you have your heart set on pressing vinyl records using the old
lacquer method? I found a new vinyl cutting machine being made which
does not use the pressing process - do you think it would suit your
needs?

"Vestax has introduced the VRX-2000 vinyl-cutting machine, which can
create original vinyl records without a mother plate or pressing
process. Music from a variety of sources ?radio, tape, MP3, etc. ?can
be instantly recorded on 25-minute-per-side Vestax Special Recording
Vinyl platters."

I know about the Vestax machine.  Unfortunately it won't work for me. 
I'm looking for a press.  I know the name of the company, but can't
seem to find any details.  Southern Machine Technology used to make
the presses.
