Your Blizzard 040 have a CPU socket ??
 
If yes : upgrade to 060 = 50 euros with a full 68060RC50 rev1 and quartz 66 (or 64) on socket + shipping back to you
 
If no : upgrade to 060 = 68 euros with a full 68060RC50 rev1 and quartz 66 (or 64) on socket + shipping back to you

Thats pretty cheap for what you have to do. I don't understand why you charge more for removing the unsocketed processor when you remove the socket anyway. Does it take more time or something?

If this Blizz have a socket, I don't need to desolder the 040 => cheaper !

Is desoldering an 040 harder than desoldering the socket? I'm assuming you always desolder the sockets as the pictures you posted looked like you did. Are there some sockets you can just leave in place?

Only adding one raw of pins in the middle...

There is a picture of a board with a socket, then the next picture is an overturned board then a board with solder and pins removed. Maybe the text explains but if it's not english then I'm unable to read it.
