Quoted from Dawson:Thanks for the input , ordered a few transistors from pinball life (man they ship fast) ..I guess to "fix it better I would have to rebuild traces and pads ... I Never have done that .. I did see a trace pen at the local electronic supply store ... It was heavy and 70 bucks, it had silver in it . They also had a flux pen , anyone ever use one of them ..
If you want to do the repair: read-up on soldering, buy the right tools and practice on something less valuable than a pinball circuit board. Working on a board that has already been hacked is not the easiest of repairs.

Skip the trace pen (they're worthless in this type of application) and when you're first starting out some additional flux will make your life a lot easier. Even experienced solderers use flux when de-soldering.
