O_D, I have replaced my BTV with a modern booster/mc but left it so I could go back to the BTV. When my BTV went out, I had just joined PI and there was a big controversy surrounding the rebuilt BTV's reliability, and I didn't want to experience another brake failure.
It's been a couple of years now and I have since relaxed and might be ready to try a rebuilt BTV in my '56 Executive. Plus I would like to have the original brake pedal back in my car
Would you say that he problems of the rebuilt BTVs have been resolved?

All TVac's need resealing every few years
That's certainly contrary to my experience and that of dozens of my friends who regularly drive BTV-equipped cars. Perhaps there is another explanation for your comment?
