Cider Press or plans??

[zzammon]

I have been making cider for a few years on a homemade redneck press. I am interested in buying an antique press with a grinder but can't find one. Anyone here have one for sale or parts for sale? Or, I could make one if I had some plans. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

I had one that I bought about 30 years ago. The frame wouldn't be that hard to build but the metal press parts would be tough. I ended up making the grinder out of parts that I bought someplace and using a large electric motor to power that part of it. Again it would be hard to replicate that device. You might be better of biting the bullet and buying a ready made setup.

You can buy nice new ones, if you shop around. On the big A it looks like they start at a couple hundred, plus more if you want a grinder.

Really nice rig for $795 that does like a bushel at a time, including grinder.

Looks like Cabelas might even carry them.
