1210 MK2 phono cables replace/repair

[chinatownswhite]

Ok so one of my 1210 mk2 leads got trapped in the lid of my flight case, pretty much chopped it all the way through.
I've done a dodgy repair, jointed them with small connectors and insulation tape
But I have to make sure the joints arnt to close or I get hum and feed bk etc ....

Anyway I have seen a few vids online regards replacing the complete lead, I have never done any electrical soldering in my life, so probs not worth me taking the risk doing it myself.

Does anyone know anbody they could do the job who is near Leicester or Cov area, also what sort of price would it be?
also I have heard its best to replace the other one aswell, not sure how true that is, but it does sort of makes sense.

Any help very much appreciated

Yes I think thats why they say have both done etc..
Ive seen a guy online that does a full basic service for 150£ for 2 decks, but hes in bloody essex, thats the problem these days, we have lost all our little electrical repair places, tbh its seems to be the chuck away dont fix world we live in now...

you should have all decks service once in a while or that start to lose their perfect wow & flutter you compare a serviced one to a none service one it will have better wow & flutter. your meant to oil the platter bearings once in a while on the technics or that can cause it own problems it easy to do on technics on my Stanton i had to take the whole lid off. it did not stop them being shit they were still shit. I think all the decks made in that harpin factory are shit.

i understand its a pain as you have to post them of and your going to lose them for a while and turntables are really easy to damage in the post as i have found out.
