Amazing how similar units from that time looked, the feet look exactly like the ones on a 2000 or so AVR 530 I have in my garage with ancient B&O bookshelf speakers I have.

And the Beisan Systems M62TU Vanos Press tool along with their Vanos Seals Repair Kit.

Once I'm done, I figured I can sell both for close to what I paid, and will end up paying no more than if I had rented those tool to begin with. I'll hold on to them for a while though, in case something doesn't go right and I'll have to do it again.

I'll take 'em!

My motor is running fine but I was planning on stocking up on the parts & tools for a similar operation hopefully faaaar in the future.

Whenever you are done with them, let me know please.
