K701: I need to recable and re-terminate to 1/8". How?

I have a K701 that serves me well, but I'm going to need to re-terminate these phones to a 1/8" jack. I'm not adept at soldering. What are my best options to find someone who can do this?

I'm not looking for expensive cables - just durable and good-sounding. Your best leads?

Thanks!

Sounds like you just need the plug to be 1/8...why not just use the adapter from 1/4 to 1/8? It'll save you the trouble and money of trying to re-cable it.

Sensible advice, but my old cable is a bit worn, and the adapter jack I'm using now is causing too much potential stress. Is this a difficult procedure, or will I need the help of someone more knowledgeable than me?

If you are seeking to re-cable it yourself, perhaps this thread could assist you:

Against strain I usually use (Courtesy of Headroom):


But of course you say your cable is worn...
