On both of my '73 Stags, the brake wire was broken at the connector which
was still attached to the switch. It seems the wire pulls off easier than
the connector.

Another thing you could check is that when released, the handbrake handle
should go all the way down by itself without any forcing, or the cable
probably needs some grease. 

As a side note, the Stag rear brakes self-adjust only when the handbrake is
applied; I thought that was unusual until someone pointed out that recent
Toyotas use a virtually identical system, in fact pictures of the parts
look like they could interchange they're so similar (the Truth is out there). 

Do you live in Houston? If so, feel free to give me a (relatively) cheap
call in San Antonio at 210-495-2631.
