I agree with you, anyone who is hoping to make up cables to sell them is NUTS. Since I had one that worked on #1040, I had a replacement made and two spares. If someone thinks that they will fit, they are welcome to try them out. If not, well then you have an example of one being made.
If you got that route, here is the place where I had them made.
