These are 70. They appear original. Don't have any history on them. If you want close ups let me know.

Interesting that the few ends of the winding that can be seen don't have "tails" as in other earlier years and I think I have of Dearborn.

Any idea of what plant yours may be from?

For 70 Dearborn owners here are some examples I found in my picture collection.

No idea what plant they are from. Only thing I know is they are DOZA-C. Wire appears a little smaller than your pictures but does look like a wire tie tool was used.

Anyone know the gauge or thickness of the wire? Thanks for the pics!

That info "may" be in the service manual.

I would feel comfortable using annealed rebar tire wire. Ive had a roll in my tool box for 20 years and still haven't used it all. It comes in handy for 1001 things.
