I just want to thank everyone in this thread for your help.
Though my IIci and Quadra boards are going to be a long term work in progress with damaged pads, I nerve-wrackingly recapped my father's SE/30 today. I did a couple of capacitors twice, because I wasn't sure. And I will be clear, it's kind of a mess. A few of the capacitors look different, almost scarred with a few pieces of solder. It was frustrating. I reinstalled the motherboard and booted and was met with checkerboard then vertical lines. Rather than freak out and redo the whole thing, I tested with my multimeter, made sure the ROM chip was installed, and then put the same set of RAM in Bank A. It booted.
(I even ended up using two tantalum capacitors in a tight spot that worked great.)
Exciting.
