heh... my freaking cat went a little whacko and chewed through all four of my remote telephone cables for my lights and the LGX4... anyone know if you can fix those?

It is possible to repair them, however the tools and hardware required would probably not be cost or time effective. Our replacement cords are $5.25 each/$21 for a set, plus shipping.

Yeah, but what about a PCB brand tamed cat? :D

oh, my cat is quite a talented one... he's only 7 months old and he's HUGE! apparently he's part wild-cat... heh, would have been good to know BEFORE we got him :)

lol, yeah, i know the replacement chords aren't expensive, but i've got the hardware and i figured i'd give it a whirl if someone could talk me through it... aka... i have three shoots in the next three days and have no clue how i'm going to find time to get new ones! but thanks... i'm ordering a replacement set... and maybe rigging something of the chainmeil variety to wrap them in!

thanks :)

You could a- solder the cables back together (matching colors) then tape individual strands to insulate them, then tape teh whole thing. Or b- buy repair tools at Radio Shack, add ends to to each of the halves of cable, then use a coupler to connect them.

Really, if time is of the essence (more so than cost), you can use any 4 or 6 wire telephone cord up to 100' from Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, etc.
