It depends on what you want to end up with. If it is purely for your
own enjoyment and you don't care about resale value, replace away. But
most folks wouldn't pay full value for a radio with non-original
replacements, even if they were "better" than the originals. Split
lockwashers are not as secure as the star type, and also do not create
as good a ground connection wherever that may be important (although in
home use, neither is likely to cause any problems as a practical
matter).

Best regards,
