This brings back memories..my dad, when he was alive, owned a small company that built "spy guy" RF gear for the military. He had 3 or 4 assembly people ( mostly women) that soldered components to printed circuit boards at their home, and brought them in when completed ( he paid by the piece). See if there are any Printed Circuit Board manufacturers in your area...they probably have an assembly person that could do it on the side. There are more of these companies around than you might think- two miles from my house here in Va there's Colonial Circuits. Disassembly is best done with that solder wick that a prior poster mentioned- as he said, miniature gound strap that comes rolled in a can that looks like a flux can. The "expert" PC assemblers NEVER use flame or a Weller-type gun- they always used little pencil point soldering irons no more than 6" long, and also had little metal "soap trays" with wet sponges in them to clean the tip and keep temps down. heat is the enemy - it dstroys the board. The idea is to lay the wick over the solder, heat the wick with the iron and have it pull the solder off the backside of the component while you gently pull it off the board.
