SME V rewire


While changing cartridges, one of the soldered leads on my SME V came off.
The arm is circa 1990 with the original wiring.
Can the lead be soldered back on?
If that's not advisable, and a rewire is required, what are the better choices? While googling, I noted that the factory SME V wiring is not everyone's favourite.

Viiu...I strongly agree with Gundam(FrankC)above. Though I presently own a different tonearm, the best and most dependable job of rewiring my previously owned SME IV.Vi tonearm was obtained from the SME company experts in Sussex, England. Their service and communication was outstanding in every way. And yes, other than their own wire, they will rewire your arm with the wire of your choice if you or the supplier sends it to them. Brian Laker at SME can assist you with any questions regarding rewiring.
