Thanks Sam and Paul.
Sam - Interesting. I've heard about that method for working on these RF subchassis sets but have yet to try it. This is the link I've seen:

Looks kind of scary to be honest! I worry what it might do to any brittle wire insulation if you're not real careful.
Anyway, I think I'll still do it the way I know for this set. At this point I've done it the desolder everything way enough times that I don't even really mind. It hurts but at least I know what to expect.
