  Need a scale expert's opinion, please.

  Restringing a 1903 Haines Bros. beauty. Customer decided to "help" by =
removing some of the plain-wire strings over the weekend. She also =
started to clean off the string size notations I had marked (very =
neatly) on the plate. Fortunately she realized they might be important =
and stopped this little game.

  I can reconstruct the scale remaining marks and my notes for all but =
the lowest six notes. Starting at the 7th note, the wire size is 19.=20

  Can I assume the unknowns are probably 20's? Shall I just stick some =
20-wire in there, see if I can pull it to pitch, and see if the =
resulting sting tension and sound  is reasonable?

  Anyone out there have a Haines of the period?
