Visit to Stereodisk
I was fortunate to attend an event Sunday at Stereodisk, a small but growing record pressing plant in NJ. Founder Leandro Gonzalez is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the process - from restoring old machines to shipping the finished product - and everything in between. Along the way, he shattered a few audiophile myths. This is a schematic of one of the machines he rebuilt.

I'm always careful not to touch other people's equipment without permission, even if there are no warning labels.
