Eliot, That old, it probably doesn't have inserts for the screw tighteners. With wood shrinkage the holes may be big enough for standard wire. If not, use a hand drill to enlarge them slightly. Of course, back out the screws first. The other option is to mike the wire size, consult a local wire dealer and make your own.
