Very difficult. I tried dissecting one and, when I did, I had destroyed too much to permit reassembly. Mebbe you can do better but I'd just buy another off eBay.
I've never tried to change the wires within my SME V, but I did change from the stock cable to Kimber KCAG (soldered to the DIN 5-pin connector that goes into the arm base) - with very good results.
Hello, if you go to vinylengine.com click on Library go to SME ,click then click on Picture Gallery on the 1st page their is a picture near the bottom that shows a breakdown of the series III wand. This will give you an insite on rewiring the arm. Good Luck, David
Thanks Jeadac. I've looked at that. Apparently, it is total PITA. SME won't do it. According to Alfred at Tube Audio Products, they are the only ones in the world that will do this....
Hope my leads aren't too short..... Dang little cartridge clips..... 2 broke off while trying to open them up to put the Grado cart on. Got some new Cardas clips coming. Ones that fit the 1.2mm pins.....
