Korg 707 repair

Hello! I recently bought a used Korg 707 FM synth and i'm trying to fix an asinine "repair" by the previous owner. Apparently what happened is that the DC power jack broke off, and instead of putting a new one, they soldered some wires directly to the motherboard, as shown here: http://nik ...
