I'm a huge fan of old school mechanics techniques, but the reason that no one solders cables anymore is that stainless has all but displaced galvanized steel for cables on nicely-spec'd bikes. And apart from being able to take solder, galvanized cables have nothing on good quality stainless cables when it comes to smoothness and longevity.
