Fixed it, but not the easy way. Bought a used control cable w/bracket. When my 5-thumbed-hand tried to remove the plunger from the new/used cable, it broke! My fault, I'm just not that bright...the cast aluminum plunger has low strength and is pretty brittle. I now had TWO busted plungers, but they were broken in different places. Copying the two broken plungers, a friend machined a duplicate replacement from aluminum bar stock. Fit like a glove, works perfect!
