What is the best way to remove old sockets on a Galaxian board?
I know to remove an ic, I cut the chip from the legs and desolder.
What is the trick to remove a socket.
 
Pop the plastic socket housing off the board then remove the pins one at a time with your soldering iron then clean the hole. Traces on these boards are fragile.
