Awesome work Gat !!
My advice: be as fully prepared as possible before even touching the machine (see TrevEB's, RB's, Guru's and other advice), especially if you are going to try and do this on-site. You don't want to look like an amateur. Get all the advice you can from the experts here, buy any equipment you need, etc, and then tackle it. (Personally, I'd rather do it off-site, so you can take your time, have a proper / quiet work area, buy any extra stuff you need if you discover something is needed, etc - but this may not be possible ...) And, definitely don't go asking the guy for any money to cover shipping or whatever.
I'll kick in $100 to help cover any expenses - via the DU or whatever you say is the best way.
