Thanks for the hints about the bakelite connectors.
We got the motor working but we noticed that it is spinning fast but not at the full speed. When it's running we noticed minor arcing in the area of the brushes.
We can run without a load but not with.
Thanks again for all your help!

We took off the motor and cleaned it up and put it back together with the help of the "Vintage Singer Sewing Machine" blog. When we plugged her back in and tested the wiring job, the light works but the motor doesn't.
We're stumped. Any ideas on what we can do to troubleshoot or a website we can check out?
Thanks
