Lincoln K870 Amptrol Footpedal Connector Repair

While I was packing up my Lincoln Squarewave to move cross country, I managed to destroy the wiring in my footpedal, a $950+ Lincoln K870 Amptrol foot pedal. After doing some research, I figured out how to repair it. So heres a video for anyone who wants to know how for the cost of some solder and heatshrink.
