Thanks for the replies, guys. My mate, who has consoderable soldering skills, has looked it over and tried his best to repair the obviously broken traces, but with no luck. D: I wonder if I couldn't ship the board to someone here to get a better opinion?

Did that with many cracked boards over the years too, adding epoxy to stabilize the repair.
One particularly nasty repair did not involve cracked boards, but deeply burned-in char paths from soda pop being spilled into the set. It created a complex of B plus-to-ground char paths in the board, shorting out the B supply which kicked the breaker. Had to jump the breaker to make the char paths incandesce white so I could see 'em. After thorough cleaning, sealed the cleaned-out channels with epoxy.
The power supply diodes survived the brutalization, but i replaced 'em anyway.
Customer was very happy.
