Yes, what you really need is new spokes. I'd have probably replaced them all when the second one went. New rim and/or wheel is your option. Most bikes I've seen of that vintage can convert pretty easily to 700c -- that's 630 down to 622 mm, so the brake pads only have to adjust down 4mm.

650A? (590mm) Do you have a tire in mind? How would you handle braking?
