Thanks for all your help. It may be that the bracket is for an oil can. Wish I had an old oil can, I do have the spout it was in the sewing machine. As for the plugs, I figured out they unscrew to replace the wire, but I didn't remove the old tape (friction tape) that was on the end. I just taped it up to give the thing a try. Guess what, the motor ran and the light even worked!!! Next is to get the needle holder on and see if it will sew. Thanks again for all your help.
