display or mylar stripes!

[Mr TUBEAMPS]

i suppose the odds of being able to find a replacement are about 0 , so
i guess its toss it in the garbage time...i just hoped someone would
know how to re-attach the ribbon to the pads

Perhaps carefully applying some of the conductive paint used for rear
window defrosters might work. It conducts and might work ok to glue
the traces down.
