is there any proper replacement for the connecting ribbon of the HP97 card reader? If there is, where can be obtained?

Can you confirm if this ribbon does not power the card reader (just for data?)...I understand this is done directly to the motor by a couple of wires.

Thanks and kind regards!!

Do a search for FFC (Flat Flex Cables) 2.54mm (0.1") 13 way. Outlets such a Digikey, Mouser Ebay etc. Not sure of length but around 75mm. If you cannot get 13 way, get larger and trim to size.

Yes the ribbon cable carries all of the card reader signals, including switches and power.
