Here is the thread that discusses the topic of cable repair. The first post is asking how to make the repair. It sounds a bit desperate - I had a machine down, and didn't immediately see how to make the install. However, after I spent more time, and with the help of the diagram posted, the repair was made. I documented the procedure with pics, annotated them, hoping it may help somebody else with the same need.
