Late reply - the PCB was totally salvageable, but I haven’t approached the switches yet. I soldered-in some silent Inks and it’s been working great - despite making some n00b soldering mistakes. Fun learning experience!
D’oh! - I had ripped out a trace being too impatient with switch removal, but thankfully this rigged fix is functional.
The build as it is now. I had Nines on it before and still prefer the look of it - but for a daily board, sound and feel win out for me - so MDA Big Bone it is.
