<p> I'm with the other folks here. Why go to all that trouble? The instrument is not worthy of a museum restoration , so why kill yourself doing this work? Widen rye slots and put in some regular fret wire... </p>

<p>I'd say T-frets. Slots that size would take bar fret wire so skinny as to be more than a bit nasty to play, so I'd not hesitate to recut the slots to fit regular modern mandolin T-frets. . .</p>

<p>By far the easiest thing to do is cut the fret slots wider and re-fret it with easily available fret wire. This piece likely has little value, why spend a lot of time dolling up fret wire? Fret saws are inexpensive, if you don't already have one. What if/ when it comes back for another fret job? Make it easy on yourself and the next person. My 2 cents anyway.</p>

<p>I have replaced the older square frets with silver sodder .Just a few at a time and that works.</p>
<p>I have a old marten neck that has no frets so I will have to make them the right width. I will roll the silver sodder to make it the right thickness.</p>
