Another 139XLR power supply problem.

Like I mentioned a few postings ago. Someone years ago before me has been in this power supply. On TR302 the collector pad has been lifted. The other two pads are not too long for this world.

If you have a syringe of UV mask (about $9 on ebay) and a UV laser (about $4 on ebay), you can put a little mask under the lifted pad with a toothpick, push it down, and shine the laser through the other side of the board. Enough light should get through the PCB to cure the high-temp mask and adhere the pad the board.
