Actually, it's pretty easy to find one. Two people have told you where to
find them.

Maybe because it's true??

A steel cable and steel housing do not deteriorate even over 30 years. As
a matter of fact, the rubber housing looks just fine, maybe NNS?
I'm perfectly capable of making my own cables, and have done so when I
have to. Maybe YOUR cable is a POS, la, la, la, but MINE's not.
YOU were the one that asked where to find a cable--I told you where to
find one. I'm underwealmed by your gratitude
So cut the supercillious crap.
