Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

After checking,it appears I am missing the foil type connector as per this image:

I have no idea what my rubber connectors are- perhaps out of another gadget....

It seems someone had the same thought I did - an outputted the display connections to something else:

A word of warning:
Be careful with the LCD screen. It receives it’s data from a plastic ribbon with conductive ink printed on it. The screen doesn’t use solder connections. Instead the data ribbon is pressed against the screen to conduct electricity. That means if you break the ribbon there’s no way to solder in a replacement wire. The conductive ink on the ribbon dries up over time and will come off if you move it around too much or move the screen. I did this and it couldn’t be fixed,

Which is exactly what is wrong with mine - so since I have about exactly zero chance of fixing it - the display is now out of the unit,although how anyone could connect to it,lord only knows.

Thusly, it is useless to me,do you think it can be re-used?

    Amazingly,the stripey connectors are still in the parts box,decades after I removed them,and after moving house!
The LCD appears to still be in the VL1- so I will have another look at it.
If it is of now use to me - it would not be a matter of cost,I have a funny habit of helping people out for free..
(After all...you do it for me.)

    Do you have this display somewhere? I'd like to buy one for one of my VL1m where display is more damaged... I can try to fiddle with it to get it aligned :-)
If you don't need it anymore...

I buggered a VL1 display because I could not get the rubber contact strips back in line.
