My antennas (1951 & 1953) have cables like piano wire, not nylon. Maybe the later ones are different; I don't know
If it's spring steel cable, is it broken in halves or broken near the mast? Those antennas extend about 5 1/2 feet. If the break is near the mast, the remnant in the mast can be carefully drilled out. Then clean, flux and solder the cable back in to the mast. Maybe it will only extend five feet but that's twice as long as other antennas.
If the broken cable is too short to be serviceable, you'll need to find a replacement.
