I'm still flying my old C210B around that has a vernier throttle
cable. It's time to replace it, and it seems I can only find a
friction lock cable to replace it with. The dealer said that the FAA
"outlawed" vernier throttle cales due to safety reasons.. Is this
true????

Who is the dealer? Ask them for specific reference.
