OK. A few more points. First, make sure that you have all the parts you need before you start to take the machine apart. Rubbers, insert decals, and lights. If you are going to switch to LED, have all bulbs in your possession before you begin. This is critical as once you start to take the machine apart, you are going to want to keep going. You can't afford to waste time waiting for bulbs to come in the mail. This happened to me and it was challenging.

Next, if you have kids, do not allow them to have access to the room.

Finally, pictures are required. As are the ziploc bags. I used a black paint sharpie (different than a regular sharpie) to touch up some lines on the edge of the insert decals. Made a huge difference. Best of luck.
