Super-Sensitive Snare Wires

Hi Folks!

I recently was fortunate enough to "snare" a Ludwig Super-Sensitive snare drum.
According to the serial number it is a 1965 vintage.
It looks like the six remaining snare wires are ancient. All the dual-strainer parts seem to be present.

Do these have to be strung up with individual wires or is there a drop-in set option?
I did find one such set online but the listing said it only fit 1968 and later models...

I've never owned one of these babies before, so any advice is appreciated!

Thanks!
 
Their website has replacement wires for the Super Sensitive. Does yours have the individually adjustable wires?
I've already spoken with Puresound (and Gibraltar). Their snare set is 2" wide at the connecting point, mine is 1-1/8".
The set I have on there right now does have the individually adjustable wires.
I would be totally happy with a non-adjustable set... if I can find one.
I've also included some pictures.
Thanks!
