If anyone else is reading this, I am sorry to report the Belden cable did not work. It is not twisted inside, is a larger diameter, and runs off the sheave every time we lift. I would need to find bigger sheaves to make the Belden cable work. We did find a source for the cable. It is a electrical supply house called Kirby Risk. The parts dept called the manufacturer which steered us to Kirby Risk. The old cable was painted from one end to the other. After I got the old cable off, I was able to scrape off paint and read the brand name.
