Thanks, Jeff.
I'll try the epoxy, while being careful not to put too much on there and block anything.
Weekend project as I had to leave early from work and couldn't get the scrap HP 54504A DSO out of the building yet.? Monday for sure.

When my cohort gets out of the hospital, he has a 7613 in the basket for sure. The wrong person worked on the power supply and I couldn't get it going again. Storage also quit on it before that.
We also have some plugins, so it is ripe to try and build a set of extenders for it since they don't seem to readily available. That part of the scope will come apart for that.
Problem is he had open heart surgery and has no idea when they're going to cut him loose, or what kind of shape he'll be in. You might end up epoxying it first.
And to comment on that, there is no harm in trying, it is broke anyway. I would also consider using zip ties to clamp it together. I don't believe it broke due to force, it is only an edge connector. The plastic is probably brittle from outgassing for 40 years or whatever.
Keep us posted on if it works, if not I'll see what I can do. At least he lived...
