Copying a 45
Is there any place to get a record made from a copy? Thanks Ray

Assuming you're talking about making one (pro grade) vinyl record, it's pretty expensive. If you already have a good recording, the first copy will run somewhere in the neighborhood of $1,200 with a per-copy price after that (for up to 500 records) of around a dollar fifty.
Of course, if quality isn't important, you may be able to find someone with an old record lathe who can make an acetate record for you (the kind that people used to make at carnivals, fairs, and on boardwalks 50 years ago). The price for that would be far cheaper, but it's a one-off process, and they don't hold up real well.
