Does anyone know where I can buy RJ12 telephone cables with solid wire?

I soldered the scarce chinese scale cables to the scale electronics.
Unfortunately, I did not add an external clamp for the cable next to the
electronics, and my display unit is displaying garbage.

From past experience, it's too darned expensive to buy the chinese DRO
cables by themselves. Worse, the conductors are the next to impossible
to solder stranded wire.

My quick solder job was to simply unfold the flattened conductors from
the small (RJ11?) end, and solder them to the PCB traces. This probably
would have been good enough, except there's no support for the connector
block... Enough flexing, and things get odd.

You don't buy them, you make them, RJ11 connectors for solid wire are
readily available. I certainly wouldn't use solid wire for anything that
moves line connections to axis scales. I'm not sure why you have trouble
soldering stranded wire, perhaps you're using the very fine "tinsel"
stranded flat cord. I'd suggest using a good flexible 24ga wire such as
Cat5 patch cable wire to make your cables.
