Hi David, That certainly is a shame. For the gold plated contact to corrode so badly means large amounts of potential damage to the flexible PCB. You may be able to repair it using some brass shim - but I cant see how else to repair it. The CX was a wonderful machine - and seeing this has reminded me of many a night at uni.
