I have not heard of anyone pressing shellac at least in North America. About three years ago I had a client who wanted to do this for a record that was recorded live to analog two track, but he finally had to settle for an all analog lacquer cut (which I did) and press vinyl at 33 1/3. My lathe didn't do 78 otherwise we would have done that speed. He looked far and wide to do something like this and had to settle. I also think he would have tried to record acoustically but that was impossible to find as well.
