Are the Scientologists using the DMM lathe they bought in 2005?

Just browsing the origins of the various records I have and came across the Wiki article for Direct Metal Mastering. I found this interesting titbit.

As at 2009 there are six or seven DMM cutting facilities left in the world - all located in Europe. The USA lost its last DMM cutting facility in 2005 with the demise of New York City based record manufacturer Europadisk LLC. Europadisk's DMM lathe was sold at auction on 20-SEP-05 to the Church of Scientology for US $72,500.

Does anyone know whether there are any lathes (of any sorts) left in South Africa?
