Absolutely stunning - and shows the way forward as unobtainium takes over the world - much much better to have a working unit even if it isn’t 100% original rather than having it sitting on the shelf gathering dust, or worse - back in the day we would not have hesitated to adapt etc when confronted by an unobtainable component - what’s different now?
That said it is always preferable to restore to original if possible but not at any cost

Well done

Rgds to all
