FWIW I found fixing the balanced inputs pin 1 problem very easy on the D75s I hot rodded. To me it looked like it might be a little more difficult on the D45/75A, involving cutting circuit traces/adding wires. The rest of the modifications, re capping, adjusting compensation caps, installing I.C. socket(s) swapping opamp amp chips, seems pretty much the same. Because of the opamps I chose to use LME49710s and 720s I had to replace the low voltage zener regs with actual regulators. The zener regs just did not have the poop to run the LME amps.
