Thanks for the good feedback! After a lot of internet research, I bought a good soldering iron (Hakko FX888D) and a desoldering station with a vacuum pump (AOYUE Int474A++).
What you describe is exactly how I will do it. I ordered new ram chips, sockets, etc. I will practice on some old PCBs I have lying around first. I watched a lot of youtube videos and I've heard the warnings on what can go wrong.
I really want to get good at this as I have plans to get more plus/4s and C16s, and I want to build my own mechanical keyboards as well (for modern PCs).
I only paid 30€ for this plus/4, but it looks like new and I want to get it going again, not destroy it.
I will post again when I'm done. It will probably be a couple of weeks.
