Elastormer zebra strips - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Anyone now whether these elastomer 'zebra' strips can be purchased anywhere and if so, where from? I'm trying to repair an LCD display but apart from one seller on eBay who is not responding to queries, I seem to have drawn a blank.

If you still have the original you could try cleaning it. A dab of isopropyl on a piece of kitchen towel and wipe each side once or twice and then run a pencil along the contact area on both sides. What equipment is it from as I might have something suitable hanging around??

Cheers,

Kev

Outrun, I have tried cleaning, but I didn't try the pencil thing. Its from a Frequency Counter on a 1980s Grundig Satellit radio.
