Stan, if you are old enough to remember what a standard analog telephone set
used to look like....
(aka    POTS    meaning    Plain Old Telephone Set  )
There were two cables. The main cable connected the phone instrument to the
wall. 
The second cable connected the phone instrument to the handset.
The Meade cable to the controller is the POTS Handset Cord (RJ11
Connectors).
Readily available from any Radio Shack store - part #279-306    12' Coiled
$6.99
You can buy the crimp tool and ends, and do-it-yourself. But easier to just
go to Radio Shack, and buy a spare.

p.s., there are six small wires that make up each twisted wire.

Does anyone know if the plastic clips at each end of the cable are 
standard sizes? If so, it seems one could buy these clips and repair the 
broken cable oneself.
