Active Electronics and MRO would be best. Princess Auto has good deals sometimes. Tonearm wiring is super thin so be careful. Get an adjustable temp iron if possible. I don't know what type of solder is best, I've never done work on turntable wiring. Maybe a braid or wick to suck up the old stuff too. Don't know about flux either, might be good to avoid oxidization in the solder. Tone arm wiring is seriously so thin and lightweight that you should only need the tinest amount.
As far as turntable speed, it's direct-drive so there should be pitch adjustment on the front, otherwise, there should be tuning POTS inside.

Thanks for the suggestion about cleaning the tonearm contacts - I haven't tried that yet but will do that first. Never checked out Active Electronics before - will have to check it out! Thanks for the tips!
