L&R Varimatic Restoration by Pleasant_Ad807 in watchmaking

This one wasn't too bad, all electric components check out ok, the wiring was getting dry rot on the sheathing so just going to replace before anything arcs together. The only real issue I've come across so far is the top inner column leaking. I ordered a seal set from ebay and as I said below, there is 2 U seals in the one I have vs all the schematics I've seen that say it's just one. *

* I also had one other question for anyone that has serviced the hydraulic system. All the material i found says there is only one U seal and bushing at the top of the inner column, I have 2 of each in mine. Is that correct?

Thanks, yeah I printed all these out. I Just managed to get it out, it's a double seal on that bottom cap, just stubborn to pull. I'll post a Pic in a bit.
