    Did anyone mention pictures yet?

    As everyone is saying, pictures from every angle for every step. Yes, you may end up with hundreds of stupid pictures... And that one snapshot that tells you how it goes back together.

    Also, do NOT assume the last person that worked on the game put it back together correctly. That hex post that is 1/4 inch shorter may not have been in the right spot when you took it out. Sometimes that just makes things look funny, and other times ball flow may be impacted.

    And I still laugh about the first time I took my Dracula apart. I was so proud of myself for getting it all back in there... right up until I went to slide the glass back in the game and I couldn't because the glass hit the coffin... Fun times. Oh yeah, there will be mistakes
