Vestax VRX2000 problem

Hi Trolls!!

I have a Vestax VRX2000 but I only tested it in 2 or 3 times. There are two copper cables between the two circular magnets and the cutting needle.
One of this cables is released by the part of the needle. Do you know if it can be welded easily? what is the solution? I have the machine and i want to cut!

I've been reading that it is one (or the one) of the worst cutting machines, but i found it very cheap and decide to buy. In an ascendent price scale, what is the next cutting machine?

Thanks for everything!

Thise was not a successful machine but it doesn't mean that you cant make it work. I don't think anybody here has one so it might be best if you post a photo of the problem and you might get some advice.

I had got a googleimages picture to try to show you what is the problem.

One of the copper cables doesn't connect with the stylus. This picture isn't from my machine, but i think it would serve:

The wire wrapped around the stylus itself and connected loosely to two terminals? That's the heating wire, it's easy enough to rewind onto the stylus and secure with a dab of heatproof cement, if you have steady hands.

Are you serious? Could it resolve with only a little bit of heatproof cement? Where can I find it? Specialized shops?

Thanks for all the help! Seriously!
