Ok, the seller offered to take back the press and fully refund me. Nice guy. Later today I'll call the machine shop and see what they'll charge for the work I want done. After that, I'll decide whether I'm keeping the press and fixing it up or returning and finding another. However, I just found another possible solution that's not too bad price wise and doesn't require modifications, so there is a good chance I go with that.
What it is: a small drill chuck with embedded neodymium magnet and stress-bearing backstop. Stick it to the end of the ram, mount tool, start pressing. Originally intended for pin pressing.
