certainly a viable replacement. However...
it requires new tools, time, attention to detail, and with any old wire, the cut off ends may be tarnished, and need to be cleaned with a wire brush to ensure a solid contact with the crimped on end. IMHO.
All that, to a strong, reliable overhaul.
On the other side of the coin, there are still jones plugs floatin around.
They can be reused.
So... six of one, half a dozen of the other.
Rock on!
