[time-nuts] LCD display connector

[Jim Palfreyman]

Hi All,

The item is indeed the "zebra strip".

Alignment is pretty good (I think) as the case ensures it.

So it sounds like it might need a clean. I shall look into that one...

Postscript... Just searched the world for DeoxIT and it turns out the local
Australian supplier has a shop 50m from where I work. Yeah!!

Jim
