The replacement door I installed only had one brass rod for the hinge that attaches with screws. For the part that slides in the channels, it has no rod at all. Just black plastic molded pins. No way to use a brass rod without carefully removing the end pieces and then drilling the ears. I guess I could take the hinge off the working one and install it on the broken one and have one with two brass rods. Yeah, I just came to that while typing, so you have to read my thoughts.The Replacement Hinge Parts I have are shown with the new Hinge Piece.

I ordered some of the fiberglass eraser pens and will see about cleaning up the traces. I'll then flux the points and tin them.
Gigabite, the rubbing of a fiberglass pencil is very very soft. It takes several sweeps just to remove the soldermask. Have you used them before? Its not a harsh means at all, its quite delicate. It isnt going to remove traces unless they are obviously raised off the board. I use them all the time on MAcintosh II boards which are destroyed by battery leakage. They really work well in those situations.
I believe everything you wrote, but my repair skill are not up to the task. If I had a few other boards that were similar, and damaged the say way, I'd try out my ability. As it stands, this board is salvageable as is, but might need more if I start messing with it.That first board, the traces are large enough that I think I'd scrape the solder mask off the damaged traces for a quarter inch or so up from the damage and solder scrap component wires over them, rather than running fly wires. You've got all kinds of room to work with there. On at least a couple of those you can probably bend the leads of the new caps over and cut to length, same as you'd do with protoboard.
That second board doesn't look too bad to me. If I were me I'd give it a little scrub with some vinegar and a toothbrush, spray it off with brake cleaner, test the continuity, and try it.
It is the worst based on my skill level for trace repairs, etc.completely agree. thst first board you say is the worst is an easy repair.
