New HP-71 zebra strips?

[Jeff_Birt]

After searching the forum here a bit more I was able to find some nice posts about the 'so called zebra strip' and some phots that had been shared. I understand better what the problem is. With the level of corrosion on the 'zebra' contact pads I don't think a direct replacement for the 'zebra' connector would work. I understand why folks use wire jumpers now.

I wonder if that is a standard footprint pitch where as a standard ribbon/flex connector could be installed on each side, perhaps an adapter PCB would be required. This would allow a ribbon/flex cable to be used.

Thanks everyone for the input.
