The description of a record press in that listing is somethingI wrote for Wikipedia. I had three of these presses and they are NOT beautiful - they are very very ugly. In fact, they are the ugliest record press ever. Out of the five this guy was selling you would only be able to make maybe two work. I see he only has two left so good luck. But hey, they are cheap enough!!!

I had my spanish speaker mother inlaw talk to the seller after he didnt seem so receptive to me speaking english. he was very nice to her and i could of had all 5 presses+boiler+cooling tower+grinder +everything for the plant for 25k. I met with investors and business associations before deciding it was too hard to setup a plant.

buying a plant that is running and leaving it there is a good option. but trying to set one up ....going to be 2-3x price of the gear and who knows how long before you can make a decent record!

and its at least 4k USD to buy a vat of vinyl pellets
