Default how to repair this circuit board?

I could do that in a half hour. I should show you the regulator board in my bench receiver, it is twice as busted up as that. Send it over and I'll do it for, umm, forty bucks.

First, get a scraper. I got a special tool to remove the soldermask. (the green ****)Then bridge most of the bigger foils with solder - only. Then take cyanoacryilate (super glue) and glue it together from the top. Then go to each connection you bridged, of course to made it to the right position, I have had to use a hammer to pound them back together at times, and that is why you do not want the extra thick glue, you want low viscosity. And at each connection reflow the solder blob and embed used solder wick in it. It will lend some strength and therefore longevity.

After that get to the smaller connections, any which way. The short distance makes it easy. Some you can do with the cutoffs from the leads of components you have installed in other stuff. (that is REALLY what the tray on your soldering station is for :-)

****, the one you got is so easy, if you can get to Cleveland bring it over with a case of Bud and I will just do it right in front of you.
