I picked up a pair of metal stampers for a 7" 45 - does anyone know a place to get a record pressed off them? I don't want to press any more than two or three copies, just for personal listening.

I guess if I could just get the 2 songs transferred from the stampers then I could simply take the transfers to VinylCarvers or get an acetate cut. But who can dub from metalwork?

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot...

I would try phoning Werner at VinylCarvers,he would be in the know I guess.

Thanks Steve - that was my first thought, but they're on holiday right now. I tried Transitition (who've cut acetates for me before) but they said they can't do it.

I'll try Werner after he gets back.

In the meantime......?

Hello,

You can't dub from the metalwork if you have final stampers (which are negative) as opposed to positive plates (which you can dub from) so you'll need to ask a pressing plant to set the stampers up and press a few copies - i.e. test pressings.

Most plants are likely to be too busy to interupt production for such a small order but it's worth a try. You'll need to pay a set-up charge to make it worth their time.

Contact me if you need numbers for pressing plants.

Best regards,

Paul
