Propeller Cable Help
I have been looking for a propeller control cable for my 1962 PA24-250 and can't seem to find one anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get one, please let me know as I am grounded until I can get mine replaced. The original part number is 226-33-003 and the newer part number is 455-252. Thank you very much!

McFarlane?

Just called them. There is a 3 month lead time. Bummer. Thank you for your advice!
Sorry about that. Couple of questions:
No problem. McFarlane has the shortest lead time. Yes, I am open to a used part.
I have tried about a dozen places, and no one seems to have one.
Hi Dale, I have heard these folks have two new control cables available in stock:
High Performance Aircraft
1850 Joe Crosson Drive
El Cajon, CA, 92020
Phone: +1866-587-2787

They said there were two supposed to be available, but the cables had not yet arrived. They are not sure when the cables will arrive, it could be next week or next month. I will try them again next week. Thank you for your help!
Don't thank me; thank Mark Ballentine, owner of Airparts West. I put the question to Mark, since he usually has all the various parts I've been looking for over the years. In this case he suggested checking with High Performance, in sort of a "Macy's Santa sending the parents to Gimbels," sort of way, if you'll permit the "Miracle on 34th Street," reference. Happy Holidays, Bob
