I thought they would just re-wire it so I could be done with it...
Nope!!!! It doesn't sound right! It sounds as if they just don't know how to do it. On one of my Yahoo vintage machine groups they said to bring it to anyone who works on motors (for rewiring a sewing machine). You don't want to fool around with bad wiring and just because the wires aren't "out in the open" doesn't make it safe :shock:
