Reed 2gTonearm Torn Wire & rewiring HELP please

docfar, That is a fine tonearm. It comes either hard wired or with a 5 pin DIN connector which is round and both channels head into it. It is keyed usually slides into a barrel and there may be a set screw that locks it in.
If it is hard wired you are in trouble unless you are good with a soldering iron. At least the arm wand wiring is OK. You will have to take the junction box apart, cut the last 1/2 inch off the cables, trim them and solder the ends to the terminals inside which you will have to clear first. I would have no trouble doing it but there may be a tech near you also.
If it is a DIN plug you will have to remove the plug from the barrel and buy a new cable. There are a bunch on the market.

Message me docfar

Only a doctor uses the phrase "proximal end". 
I assume he is not a neurologist. A neurologist would figure out the wiring. 

Send your arm to Reed for rewire

I just sent my tonearm to Reed, it is on its way as I type. Contact Ruta at Reed, she can guide you on what to do.

In my case, I bought mine used, and the original dealer no longer sells Reed. The distributor would not handle the repair, so I had to send it directly to Reed. Ruta was helpful as I sorted out how to get my tonearm fixed.

I apparently have a bad solder joint where the clip is joined to one of the cartridge leads. Could have been caused by improper handling when installing a cartridge, or it could have been soldered incorrectly originally. I can’t say which. Should have been an easy repair. A highly qualified technician burned through the wire, three different times on three tries, when he tried to do the repair. The silver wire is very fragile and requires a low soldering temperature and apparently requires very good skill to solder.

Just sharing my experience, your wiring and soldering skills might be different.

@fsonicsmith , Just a lowly family doc.

@thaluza thank you for the heads up and advice and a big thanks to @mijostyn -- I do not know how to disassemble the junction box - the RCA cables go in the back and appear to have a metal "grommet" that screws in ..

@fsonicsmith close in picking specialties - my surgical skills do not extend to turntable wires just lowly brains

docfar, what was put together can be taken apart! 

@docfar
I hope you realise that tonearm bearings are fragile. If you have applied enough force to tear the cable you may well have demaged the bearings.
You should send the arm back to Reed for repair and check for any other wear or damage.

I would have suggested you stick to your knitting, but with all due respect, I wonder how many patients went in for a minor procedure and left with a partial lobotomy.

@dover Thank you for your concern.  The way the Reed arm is setup you can disconnect the cables from the junction box with out even touching the arm or any bearings and you can remove the wand from the bearing assembly and also remove the bearing assembly.  This situation is one in which the wire was severed where it enters the junction box when disassembling the wiring.

To clarify for everyone I did not sever the cable where it comes out of the wand at either end.The cable was severed at its distal end where it enters the junction box for the phono/ RCA connector cable.
Apologies for the medical terms but I am unable to come up with better descriptors.

@thaluza  thank you for the referral to Ruta- she has been very helpful and I am now sending the arm back to Reed.

You're welcome. I will check in on this thread to see how your repair went and I will let you know how mine went too.
