Finally got the new Kiekhaefer throttles installed. As you pointed out the old unit was a Morse and therefore no cable change was required. I got lucky and the throttle set I got had a set of four cable ends with it.
All I had to do was enlarge the mounting hole, attach the cable ends and cables, and adjust the rigging a small amount for all four cables. Very straightforward job. Thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure what to look for. I have the same style throttle you had, I have TRS drives and they shift electronically. Most of what I have found shifts with a cable. Any suggestions?
Here's some photos of what I've got.
