Hi,

Here is an image of a small, modern crusher;

They sell them for $200 U.S. at;

http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/fruit_press.html

I have never done business with that firm, only found the image there.

However, I have seen them in Mennonite areas that are very simple, made of 
wood, except for the
axle and bearings.

Later,
Tom
