If there is only a screw to "wrap the wire around", then I would definitely
suggest eyelets. However, originally, most of the terminations had clamp screws
where you just push the end of the wire in, and tighten the screw down onto it.
In that case, tinning the ends may be a good idea ... but some of mine have
started to break right at the edge of the solder so I'm not certain it's all
that much better than leaving the wire bare.

400 pounds is pretty close; maybe a bit more with overdrive and all the
ancillaries.
