I got an MC36 remote a while back, I knew it was damaged but had forgotten about it until this evening.

Ideally the remote needs opening up and the wires need shortening and reconnecting to the PCB inside.  I can't handle fine soldering anymore, not that I have ever been much good at really fine pcb work.

I wondered about using self amagamating tape wound tightly around the ferule and the first inch or so of the cable but it seems like a bit of a lashup on a nice instrument.

Any suggestions for a decent repair.  It works just fine but it won't last long like that and moisture could get into the MC36 itself via the cable.  You get quite a bit of condensation at night.
