Hmm, a PC board for repair/refurbish. I, would not, simply because I have the skills to build, re-build vacuum tube electronics. I'm not ignoring PC boards as unskilled repair mechanism. I have designed and repaired PC boards with some of the smallest devices that are practical to work with.
IMHO there are such instances in point to point radio repair where there is tedium...
It is recognizing a demand for a PC board to solve that type of tedious problem. For example a board used to make multiple interconnection to rebuild a large capacitor block.
The "Couplate" comes to mid. It is a multiple device component that interconnects stages in a radio. When one component fails within this device the entire group of devices has to be hard wired as individual components.
There are popular "couplates", it is these that could be replicated with surface devices and a PC board. Pre-loaded even with leads this could be economically practical.
