Success!

I tried one of the Novag wooden pieces that came with the Phantom 6100 I
purchased.  That was the one where there was discussion on whether these pieces
would work on the Phantom.  Well, those also work on this Saitek President.  The
magnets must be just a bit stronger on them.  The piece is just slightly
smaller, but it will work fine.
