Hostert makes new Dip and Dunk machines, no idea what they cost but I'm guessing it would eat up a big majority of a theoretical SBA loan, and require 3 phase power if I recall correctly.
Dip and dunk are for sure the best, but there are scary aspects of trying to start one up too. Though maybe something new will come along in the next couple years. There is a lot of interest in film afterall.
