Not only that, but what about soldering technique, the
most directly
tangible evidence of an original electronics work? Would you also be able
to match the PCB color, or source some of the parts? Some analogies to
consider :)
The nearly intangible stuff that gives something it's
character. I have a 200 year old grandfather clock and while you can
certainly buy a new one whose parts are more consistent and fit
together better, they certainly won't have the character of this one
with all it's handmade parts.
