Update: I took my Reed tonearm to one of the more well-known technicians in my area to try to get the cartridge clip soldered. Some of you would recognize him. Sad story, he was unable to do the job. He burned through the wire three times and gave up. The wire for the cartridge leads is made of very thin silver and apparently requires a lower than normal temperature for soldering. Glad I didn't try it myself. I have enough wire left for one more attempt. I am trying to avoid an expensive re-wire job. I am seeking recommendations for a technician that ideally has experience with tonearms who might be able to do the job for me. I am willing to ship to anywhere in the U.S.
