Does the needle not move at all, or does it go everywhere?

My guess is that your cable is broken.

I've never had one break, I guess they just get old and wore out.

They dry out from no lubrication. When the gear in the tranny modulator tries to spin the dry cable, all the torque is going to break somethin- usually the gear on the end of the cable. In your case tho, the cable must've fatigued and snapped.
