Default Repairing flexible PCB on a video head

I have a JVC ideo where the ribbon going from the head to the amplifier has broken.

Has anyone successfully repaired these ribbon cables? In which case has anyone got some tips.

Default Re: Repairing flexible PCB on a video head

I HAVE repaired some but can't remember the details. I would have had conductive paint for repairing the remote controls in the shop so that might be what I used. I have sometimes laid a strand of flexible hookup wire in the paint, let it dry and then done another coat. Also sometimes I have glued a piece of copperless PC board across a break to take the flex away from it. (on the back side). I don't know whether you're talking audio or video head here, but the repair would be similar, Also if dealing with a rotary transformer, I remember having to glue the windings back in the slots so they wouldn't scrape. We found the conductive paint very handy, the instructions warned that it was good for a short time but we found it was OK for months. That's the silver one, didn't find the carbon one as good.
