A skilled repair person can "un-damage" tone holes on an instrument of any
age. Better way to go, IMHO, if you have access to a skilled technician.

Cork pads are difficult to install correctly, but provide a long-lasting and
very tight seal. They do tend to be a little noisier when closing.
Valentino Greenback synthetic pads give the same advantages without the
noise issue. They are also excellent at sealing on damaged tone holes, so
they are ideal on older instruments.
