Mmm, are you talking about the R/L output cables? I assume you are. And are they attached to the table, as opposed to plugged in? Again, since you're talking about splicing, I assume they're attached, that is, wired into the table. If I were feeling confident, I'd take apart the table and remove the bad-boy cables at the source, then attach a brand new set. Not sure where you'd get them, though--Radio Shack?

Or take the table to a good audio repair store. I wouldn't think it would be too expensive to install new cables.

Whenever you start splicing wires, you're asking for shorts and other bad stuff. I wouldn't do that.
