@mawr starting with the scary part first! Now I have to finish. ^^

@mawr I don't have appropriately sized spare wire, so I'm using the wire from the cable. It's insulated with super thin epoxy or something, so I have to burn that off the tips, first.

@mawr next is the wiring of the headphone jack! Wiring up for a test first, then solder, then heat shrink tubing to seal it up all nice. ^^

@mawr No heatshrink on the individual wires? Insulation is good!

@Felthry Yes, but space is at a premium in that casing, and the insulation on those wires worked just fine while they were encased in a rubber curly cord casing, so I think it'll be just fine. ^^

@mawr Hmm... I would have at least put a thin piece of heatshrink over each wire.
