This model is now manufactured by EMR in Phoenix, AZ. http://www.emrcorp.com/brochures/23/RFS%20Brochure_526%20Series.pdf
EMR may be able to make a new harness for you. Cables should be an electrical 1/4 wave, so it depends on the coax. I am currently refurbishing one and planning on using RG-142, It has less loss than RG-223, And 4.5" is about .025dB .
