It may be easier to cut out the old chip, solder 14 little jumper wires to the pads, glue a 7406 in a standard DIP to the board (upside down, use Crazy glue), then solder the jumpers to the upraised pins of the DIP. Unless you have a soldering iron with a very fine tip, you may have trouble making the connections to the pads on the board. What I do in this situation is to get out my old soldering GUN, wrap about 4 or 5 turns of heavy copper wire around the tip, then bend the end of the wire forward to form a tiny tip. The tiny tip should be no more than about 1/2 inch from the regular tip of the gun, because otherwise you lose too much heat to melt solder.
