LINN Ittok needs rewire Suggestions?

I'm not sure what caused it but I tracked down a sudden loss of right channel signal to the tonearm wire.  It is the right ground and not the right hot that seems to be the problem.  This was checked for continuity using a volt ohm meter.  The Ittok LV II is in good shape so if it's possible to rewire it then it seems that would be the cheaper option.  This arm has 4 pins at the head shell and DIN connector pins at the other end of the arm.  Can anyone suggest a Linn repair shop in the upper midwest?  I'm not certain I want to open up the arm unless it is fairly easy to do but I have done cartridge mounting and tone arm set up many times.  Thanks for suggestions!

I have always recommended Brit Audio. Michael does excellent work.  He's here in the states too.

Not sure if Rick, (Audio Alternative) re-wires arms or not? He is one of the best for Linn table repairs, updates and setup.

@mofimadness thanks for the Brit Audio recommendation.  Talked with Rick and probably not an option.
