I dunno. If you have a few $100s invested in something, or say the better
part of a $grand, even a few $100 spent on getting it back into service
can
be justified.

In the larger view, there is no dichotomy between analog and digital.

Good advice.
The worst case of circuit board repair I ever encountered were complete
longitudinal fractures of 2 major boards in a Heath AR-15 receiver. I seem
to recall that both the multiplex and input boards were severed. When I
picked up the package at the APO, parts literally streamed out of a ripped
corner of the box.
I used the wire-replacement/reinforcement technique, and the receiver ran
flawlessly for years afterward.
