The press was only missing the reservoir cover and I can make one of those. Actually it appears to work fine without it.

Needed to be cleaned up, but I hit it with a heat gun and all of the old gunk came out of it. Works like a champ.

Oh, I'll have to get the wrenches for the collet and for the rod. Right now I am improvising.

The collet is very easy to cross thread. Gotta be careful.
