I know a little about these.

No cables are known to exist.. ild clean the edge connectors off both boards and check the caps on the display board under the apron.

Quoted from arakt:

trueno92 I cleaned the connection points good (with alcohol). Maybe I should use an eraser as many people I’ve read do. I have a local old-school electronics store that has pretty much everything that I would need to make my own cable. I guess the best option is to take my cable in and see if they can make me one. Thanks.

What i have seen used in the arcade world was to take both the edge connectors on the boards and add solder to the pads so they can reach the connectors in the cable.

I am sure there are a few atari games out there that are missing stuff that someone can donate out a cable for you as well - this place can be nice sometimes when you get past the constant whine of the man-children always wetting their diapers...
