Unfortunately the cables that @momo608 recommended are for modern road or mountain bike shifters and the rounded ends will not fit the vintage Schwinn shifters without extensive filing, The Schwinn Single and Twin-Stik shifters were similar to Huret shifters and require Huret cables using much thinner "lolipop" ends. Here you will find NOS Huret cables that will fit with no modification: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Huret-shifting-cables-63-Jubelee-Schwinn-Raleigh-/160354414190

Note that is a package of 10 cables for $12 (including shipping), so they are only $1.20 each.
 
Its hard finding a good pic of the end but the huret i can definitely see. Ive been a little skiddish around ebay for a while got burned a few times after years of no problems. But the price is right thanks for the leads!

Slight filing, like 10 seconds worth, but yours was the better suggestion. just bought some myself.

BTW, the cables I suggested are stainless
