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.

The cartridge leads are push on, on the tonearm end as well so you can just get a new set of leads. The heat shrink on the arm end is just covering the push on connectors. New cartridge leads are available from several sellers on ebay etc.

I think that some folks object to the supplied VDH wire thats external to the SMEV i.e the tonearm cable - but not the internal silver wire i the arm it self.

Best of luck
