How to strip tonearm wire>?

(1/1)

Slim-Shaddy:
While working on repairing a Pioneer PL-530 I snapped a tonearm wire while trying to strip it. I'm obviously a novice and I tried to gently pull off the insulation with my thumb nail. Wrong idea I guess. I'm going to order new wire and I don't want to make the same mistake again. Please advise!! :o :o

Reverend:
Since I'm the king of breaking tonearm wires  :P the way I strip the insulation might not be the best or correct way but it works well for me.  I have a little hand held butane torch and will burn the sleeving off.  You have to make sure to lightly sand/clean up the end that is burnt afterwards.

Slim-Shaddy:
Thanks rev, I'll give that a shot once I order and receive the wire.
