These do sound like Zuckermann tuning pins, with which I have never
had any trouble at all.
The most important thing is that the holes in the wrestplank must be
drilled at an angle (so that the wire is at right angles to the
tuning pin at the point where it leaves it to go towards the nut) if
one is to avoid the pins pulling out of the holes. If this is not
the case, and the pins are vertical, the tension can tend to pull
them out of the holes.
