Well, off to a sad start (but I will press on!) I took the light/clamp off, and what I thought was old fabric underneath the clamp turned out to be layers of bandaging tape. Years of thick adhesive "baking" onto the machine - it pulled the gold foil lettering and design right off. I don't think there is a solvent made that would have taken off the super sticky tape without damaging the foil. (sigh) You would think removing the light would be fairly painless, but lesson #1: expect the unexpected. Will keep you posted!
