Hi Steve,
it is normally not possible to repair a broken plastic sensor pad. You can try to replace ist with a sensor field from a damaged computer of the same kind (e. g. same manufacurer and model from the same time). For the T432 a Turbo Star or Superstar may work. Best is to replace the complete cover, because it is difficult to extract the foil without damage.
Parts from different manufaturers (e. g. Excalibur) will not work, because the cable and and the pins are different.

Hello Achim,
Thanks for the reply. I understand what you are saying, and this would be one task to attempt. I am wondering if its worth it. I was not going to try to replace the complete pad, just the vinyl membrane on the top. But again, not knowing what is underneath the existing one this could turn into a disaster - not to mention how difficult it would be to get a matching membrane. I might send this one back to the seller as he has offered 7 day refund and look for one in good condition.
Sad though because it really plays a great game of chess and the program is a pleasure to use.
Like all things in life, things get old.
Regards
Steve
