@ppzikos amazing work. I have one the same but missing almost all pads. I've tried but can't do it, beyond my skill level!
I'm going to order some of them copper pads @FXDX linked to to see if they will work for me?

in fact it is quite easy with good preparation and trusted material.
my soldering iron ( ts 100) is small and quite precise and with microscope the hands are more steady.
it's long to do but not complicated finally, then it was the switch of a young man from my family his makes you want to fix it!!

I have another one in the same state I will try to make a video.
