Hicks Brother Printing Equipment in SF has a large Vandercook, a 32-28 if I remember correctly, that was recently used for printing in a temporary studio. But it might not be able to ink down the middle of the form because its distributors were recessed there for two-color printing (again, if I remember correctly, not sure).
You may try calling Kurt over at Reno Type.
