I am clueless the diameter of your cable but a company named Oregon makes a variety of sizes & lengths. I was able to fit new all new cables to my Aero for what I couldn't find NOS. I basically swaged new Oregon cables to my OEM controls. I can post more info of the process if you find correct size cables &  want to give it a shot.
