I've got a tonearm to rewire and have not tackle one before.  It currently has the old wire still barely sticking out, so I can use it to pull some Cardas wire through.  Any issues that I need to be aware of before tackling this??  Who's done this before around here?

The only thing you want to be aware of is making sure you are able to pull the new wire successfully through the tone arm. Some tonearms have damping material in the arm that the wires needs to go through. I solder the new wire to the old and put a thin piece of tape over and it pulls through fine.

Just take things slow and you should be good. It's not a hard procedure it is just time consuming.
