Hello,
Just bear in mind that this is a glorified dub-plate lathe, and not a real
press. You cannot produce large pressings from a metal master plate with
this machine. Also, I had heard that you cannot make a durable pressing with
this unit(40 plays max,) has this changed since the last revision?
Take care,
Mike

I think Vestax was actually marketing one that you could use to cut your
own
records at home. Check them out http://www.vestax.co.uk/flash/
It's the VRX-2000: Vinyl Recorder
From their website:
After many months of hard design work the VRX-2000 vinyl cutting machine is
now almost ready for release. Initially shown at the PLASA show in London
in
September 1999, this machine has now changed quite drastically in both
looks
and features. At this years PLASA, the new VRX was demonstrated live on the
Vestax stand, with records being cut straight from a cd source in front of
a
very excited audience. Since this show further adjustments have been made,
and in early October the first production run of cutting heads was started
in Japan. Once these have been thoroughly tested the first few machines
will
be despatched around the world. Initial quantities will be very limited as
each unit will need to be checked carefully before shipping. We already
know
that demand is extremely high so please be patient.
The VRX-2000 takes a standard line level feed, either balanced or
unbalanced, and there is an internal amplifier, equaliser and limiter. The
limiter can be switched off to allow use of higher quality external devices
if they are available to the user. The stereo recording is then cut into
the
new 12 vinyl discs with a maximum recording time of 15 minutes per side.
Optional 10 and 12 lacquers can also be used for recording, although
these
will obviously not be as long-lasting as the vinyl Hermodisk. The sapphire
stylus is expected to last approximately 20 hours, although this will
depend
greatly on how it is used. Frequency response is extremely difficult to
measure accurately, but those who have listened carefully to the latest
prototypes have been extremely impressed, with very little noticeable
difference between the original and new cut.
The final price is still not confirmed but the expected UK rrp is £6000
(excluding VAT). This price will include an initial training session, which
is essential for anyone who wishes to use this machine. The replacement
stylus will cost around £250 and blank vinyl disks will be around £10 each.
A firm price will be released by each individual country when the first
units are shipped. Please contact your local distributor for further
details.
Luck to you
MEK

I need help...I'm looking for a place that I could
purchase a vinyl press from, I'm trying to figure some
things out, and want to get pricing on the actual
presses themselves, I can find tons of places that
will press vinyl, but I can't find a press
itself...any help?
