It has a blue motor on it, I'm assuming that's a later fix to it. What do you think?
You are in a group of enablers. Obviously, fix it up, posting before, during and after pics. There are a host of folks here who can help you with any questions you might have. I have little experience with the older 66s but lots of others have a lot of info for you. Inspect the wiring first, before plugging it in. Good luck!!! :) :)
