yeah some one before me seems to have replaced some caps in the past and lifted some pads which i have bodged with some wire even know they tested fine, i did look for any cracked solder joints and fixed any i found, most of the items on the bottom except for my bodges i have seen on other boards in pictures here on the forum so i am assuming most of those might be from the factory,Standard multimeter to take measurements in circuit and check if they are within spec. If they are out of spec, remove them (or one end) and check again before replacing as reading may be affected by something in circuit.
Had a quick look at the solder side pic. PCB appears in pretty good shape overall. Someone has gone over it already and there are some bodge wires added to join some pads. Several solder joints look like they need addressing.
saturday i plan to fix some of the wiring in the cab as some of the wires are broken, one of which it seems someone cut and tried to solder it but didnt do a good job, a second ground wire on the right side was also cut down for some reason in the past and i plan to fix it and a wire came out of one of the connector in the same area when i was removing the board to bring home, ordered a crimp tool to fix that one properly





. I think the manual also has an image of the pcb top side, so that could also be referenced.
