As Dan pointed out, you can unscrew the caps from the cables-- the 
omni 183 capsules screw into the c122 cables. Try this is you haven't 
already.

Can you wiggle the cable and isolate a portion where the bad connection is?

Best not to have a splice. You can buy a new C122 cable 
http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/Accessories/us_pro_C122_content
http://store.aiconsol.com/c122.html (or try Sweetwater or B&H)

or knowing that you can always buy a replacement cable, try 
opening-up the old one to see if you can re-solder the cable 
directly. Rob D.
