These studios had high quality material and facilities to master the tape professional.
Prices were high to made an acetate there.
So these were more for the artists which were in contract of the record company's.
The prices were too high for the DJ's to make a single copy, so they must go to Sunshine sound or the other ones.
The most famous one is Frankford/Wayne.
Mostley you can see in the ending of the wax the text "Mastered at frankford/Wayne Studios" or on the label of the vinyl.
Nicest thing of some acetates is that some mixes on acetates never were issued commercial.
Here are some pictures of them:
