HP50G display tape - conducting paths

[mfleming]

If the original flex has a standard conductor pitch (distance between traces & trace width) then it is possible to buy a ready-made jumper replacement. Look for one from a suppler like Mouser - search on ffc/fpc jumper cable. You'll likely have to settle on one with more traces and slightly longer than the original. Sealing the cable to the board would be a very different problem though. One would normally use a surface mount connector, but hand soldering one to the board yourself would be tricky.
