Vintage Synth Repair

I used the unwrapped b or e strings .Can't remember what one.That was 1980ish.
  I do remember that at the time an ARP repair center told me to use guitar strings.

around the core string? I haven't had to replace j-wires yet but I do have a
couple that may need replaced some day.

thanks,
