Thanks for the tips and comments. I am able to take components out if it seems if I take my time but a magnifier would help and flux.
I was pressured when it became clear two output transformer wires had come off but I had taken a couple of reference pics weeks ago. After careful comparison I soldered back the wires. As to fitting components it was fiddly and demanding some patience.
As Miguel stated the legs of components in these Soviet.boards can snap really easy so I can check for that. The sixties seems fairly modern but for a PCB board that's a long time ago. I am not sure how East German vintage radio compared with West German production but I guess the producers would have expected them to last till the eighties at best.
