So you replace a fuse with an iron nail, which causes a transistor to run so hot it burns a hole in the PCB. So what do you do? Apparently some fine repair tech came to this problem and the apparent solution was to jumper over the now totally burned traces and then add wires and hang the now missing transistor from those. Because why not?

This is a WhiteStar pinball platform driver board I got for spares long ago, but I think it's glorious in all of its tech goreness.
