Does anyone know of a good commercial record press for flattening warped records or where to get information / reviews articles etc. on one ?

You can find a good deal of info, including some from people who have actually tried various techniques, at Audio Asylum. Record dewarping is a very tricky business and one is better off trying things out on junk records to start with.

If I had any warped treasures, I would join a local audio club, then propose we undertake a fundraising campaign for a Record Flatter.
I have one of these Record Flatteners which I bought in Japan on one of my trips there. It is the same as tyhge model as sold by Air Tight in the US.

I can tell you that it works beautifully. In order top flatten a record you need controlled and even heating which is exactly what this provides. I give this machine two thumbs up. There were some that mentioned degradation of the sound when the record was flattened but I have not experienced this.

Thanks for sharing your experience. What is the name of the Brand and Model of your LP press ?

I place the LP between two sheets of newspaper, and then drive my car back and forth over it a few times. Then I drive down to the music store and buy a CD.

Seriously, I never had any success. However I did end up with a turntable/arm Sony PS-X800, with "biotracer" (servo controlled) linear tracking arm, and it tracks severely warped LP's without difficulty.
