 have no Idea,  I was hoping someone on this list had restrung one
successfully. The problem is that by the time the slack is taken out of
the string, the "screw" is drawn up all the way, esp with plain wire. 
This was a long time ago, and it seems there were other intircacies
involved such as the one you point out.
