Wiring Harness For Speed Control For Pfaff 18.8 Auto Stitch

my auto stitch vertical encoder has stopped working. The horizontal stitch works fine. It seems the connection has been totally lost between the encoder and the machine. Where can I purchase a new harnessing wire? I have gone through the list of trouble shooting items such as cleaning the encoder and track, and have unplugged and re-plugged in everything. So I suspect the harnessing wire or the connecting mechanism for it has been damaged . so my next idea is replacing the cable, or the encoder, unless you have some other things for me to try.
