Can anyone offer tips on how to proceed to replace the interconnect
cable on a Rega Planar III?

The table in question is a Rega Planar III with the Rega-installed arm.
The signal cabling (specifically, the interconnect from the table to the
preamp) looks pretty cheap and I expect that a better interconnect would 
improve the piece's sound.  Problem is, the interconnect disappears up into
the arm somehow and does not look easily replaceable.  The cable passes
through a tube secured by a very wide, thin nut to the bottom of the base,
and no connections are immediately visible through the aperture.

Anyone have experience with this table?  What can I expect to find when
I take the table apart?  How much trouble can I get into in trying to
reassemble everything?  Is realignment a problem? (Needless to say, this
is the first time I've tried anything like this.)
