Before I go at it, any tips on desoldering the power transistors? My 35W
iron is not up to the task unless I cut the foil leads beforehand. A bigger

Definitely! A bigger iron means less time heating up the pads and
surrounding connections. (less damage)
A 240 watt Weller gun does this well for me. Big "Black Beauty"
irons do well, also.
Be sure to use lots of "solder-wick." Or a good vacuum solder-sucker.
