Someone mentioned the danger of damaging tube socket connectors when
replacing caps (as well as resistors).

I am also afraid of that, so instead of unsoldering, I just clip the leads
and splice in the new part.  Maybe not as neat, but no chance of damage,
overheating, disconnecting a wire by mistake, or other problems.  I do one
at a time so no chance of mixing up connections, either.
