Grind them inan old meat grinder. Old because they will discolor tin coating. I built a press using a car jack. Look at a factory press and go from there

Having used several models, I'm betting pretty much any juicer would work nicely to get the juice out. Some, like the Acme, will just give you a better yield of juice than others, like the Juiceman. A Champion will give a decent yield, but the juice will have more "pulp" than juice from an Acme. Depends on what you like. How to make cider from juice, I don't know.
