    I am seeking recommendations for high conductivity adhesive to repair my 504 Sun Distributor Tester. Specifically, the carbon pad (see picture) which conducts electricity from a brass male quick connect terminal (red wire w/female connector) to the turntable came off while I was working on the machine (installing a new LED upgrade kit). Because this carbon pad must conduct electricity, I am seeking recommendations from anyone who is much more experienced with electronics on how to attach it back to the brass. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Their is a conductive glue made for reattaching the contacts for a rear window defogger to the glass. Pretty sure Permatex makes it, probably some other brands out there too. Might work.

  3. What @bigdog said either glue or tape rear window defogger repair.

    there is either by loctite or permatex a silver electrical paste glue/bonding agent as well.I’ve used all 3 with success.

    could it be simply soldered back together ?

    Look into Devcon adhesives. Industrial strength, very good stuff.
    They have a high quality, conductive (silver infused) epoxy.

    Follow-up:

    I utilized the permatex 21351 window defroster adhesive and was able to reattach the carbon button. Further, I checked the resistance finding none. The distributor tester is up and running again.

    Thanks for all the input and suggestions.
