[sdiy] Width of pins for EMS style patch matrix?

[Metrophage]

I was lucky to find an 11x56 patch matrix from an analog computer, for
about $30. Comparing to the picture on Graham Hinton's site:

This MUST be a Sealectro matrix. It is identical build, including the
traffolyte cover and type. I have no patch pins for this, and I doubt
if I will be able to afford getting them from Robin at EMS anytime
soon. I figure that somebody out there must know the diameter that the
pins are supposed to be! I have been finding many links for various
kinds of pins at surplus places, but I have no way to measure the small
holes on this thing. I am entertaining ideas for resistor-based and
shorting pins, depending on what I find. 

If I know the width then I can either make shorting pins, or buy
resistor/diode types. Would one of you lucky people who has some EMS
pins please tell me the dimensions? 

Thanks,
CJ
