Sibert follow-up: USD 250k budget, current VS specs, OMS as galvanics option

Ian Locke's email of 5 October 2026 after Making Vinyl Europe:

- Budget of USD 250k for VSP, VSF and VSC confirmed; his time, spares,
  shipping and travel extra; itemised quotation on request. The
  total-investment block keeps its estimate until the re-base, the
  difference (+190k low case / +80k high case) goes into the
  not-yet-rolled-up table.
- Current specifications filed (VSF and VSC 2022, VSP 2023) plus the
  VSF/VSP/VSC line-up drawing (4958 x 833 mm); the 2021 issues move to
  sibert/specs-2021/. VSC is now 1000 kg with split OD hydraulic / ID
  pneumatic forming; VSF 0-30 psi, 4-station head. Crane table, supplier
  map, vendor landscape and the plant page details updated.
- Fully automatic VSPa exists; Sibert offers to move features to the VSP.
- Electroforming: OMS (Optical Media Services, Lou Wullms) named next to
  Pheenix; added as a third galvanics candidate with open questions.
- Sequencing advice (presses, boilers, operators and live feedback loops
  first) recorded in the exhibitor briefing, roadmap item 23, and as
  digital-factory design decision 9 (operators see the data first).

+Optical Media Services B.V. (OMS, Baarlo, established 1996) builds and
+refurbishes vinyl electroforming equipment, converts CD/DVD electroforming
+lines to 14" vinyl, and runs an independent stamper service from lacquers
+and DMMs. Sibert's Ian Locke named it after Haarlem as the alternative to
+a Pheenix turnkey line: Lou Wullms is "a long-standing industry colleague
+who makes good equipment" and very familiar with the Asian market. A
+directory listing points OMS's website at Newbilt's equipment page, which
+announces new Newbilt electroplating equipment; whether the two are linked
+is unconfirmed. No datasheet or price on file yet; details and open
+questions in [galvanics and stamper prep](../equipment/galvanics.md).

 ## Stamper preparation: Sibert Instruments (UK)
 
 [Sibert Instruments](https://www.sibert.co.uk/) (Hampshire, in this niche
 since the early 1970s) makes the machines that turn a raw electroformed
 nickel shell into a press-ready stamper: the VSP center punch, VSF
-back-finisher, and VSC coiner (trim and form in one pass). One-off capital
-equipment filling exactly the gap between the plating line and the presses.
-The 2021 technical specifications are in
+back-finisher, and VSC coiner (trim and form in one pass), plus a fully
+automatic VSPa punch. One-off capital equipment filling exactly the gap
+between the plating line and the presses. The current technical
+specifications (2022 and 2023) and a line-up drawing are in
 [`../equipment/sibert/`](../equipment/sibert/): all three run on
-single-phase power and 6 to 8 bar air, weigh 200, 250 and 600 kg, and list
