Just curious, how did you remove the old capacitors?

Not very well!! I wound up lifting the copper foil in a few places. It still works okay, but I'm going to try the Chipquik SMD removal kit on the next C2 motherboard and see if that makes things easier. The solder contained in that kit is a special alloy which remains molten at much lower temperatures, so it should be possible to simply wet the capacitor terminals with the stuff, then slide the old capacitor right off. Regular solder solidifies much too quickly.
