Great comment, Tammi. I know my son immediately re-wired my 201 (potted motor), and since I didn't have a foot pedal for it anyway, replacing it was not an issue. My 201 is a 1952 model, yet the decals are 98% intact, so I have NOT used it until I can get another coat (or two) of shellac (naturally, the shellac on it is cracking, etc., and I want to resolve that BEFORE the decals are damaged!
