Blackwell was on the last Vinyl Guide podcast episode of 2016 in December. I don't know when the episode was recorded, perhaps early December? But he mentions that the presses had just arrived and that one of them had actually been put into position-- http://www.thevinylguide.com/episodes/2 ... cial-guest

Yeah, I have been to TMR Cass a few times in the past month and they are definitely there. They used to have the windows open so you could see the space back there, but it's all curtained off now so you can't see whats up. They were pretty busy back there just a few weeks ago..

The curtains have been up since summer, if not before.

There's a little video in the vault about the pressing plant. Doesn't really tell anything other than "soon".
