Re: HP67 battery contact repair. Message #2 Posted by David Smith on 20 Jan 2004, 9:16 p.m., in response to message #1 by deleted
The best way to repair it is to replace the contact with one from an old HP35/45/etc. The contacts themselves are held down by melted plastic posts (heat stakes). You have to cut off the top of the heat stake to remove the contact. I use a black rubberized superglue called IC2000 tire cement to hold the new one in place (along with some kapton tape).
Harder is to form your own contact out of beryllium or phosphor/bronze copper alloy strip.
