Yeah but then I'd have to film it and it would take 10x longer to do the actual work. I intend to dedicate a website to my collection and my exploits, but again ... it takes time.

I don't think so. Elco's for sure, smaller ones on the circuit boards, bigger on the backplane. I tried to solder a component off an Onyx IO4 once and it failed miserably. Those are some thick PCBs.  I would leave them alone for as long as it doesn't leak.
