I'm so glad you found it...I was really concerned!!!! Rewiring vintage machines goes with the territory.


You will have to rewire it. Follow the wires and carefully document. I would use 18 gauge wire...so that it is THICK since it carries current to the motor. You will have to totally disassemble the Fly Wheel. Remove the motor housing, and then inspect and replace. From the looks of it, nearly all the wires will have to be redone. It is a tedious job but you will be able to do it. Have a soldering iron handy as well. You should also disassemble the motor housing and inspect the wires all the way to the internal workings of the motor. Good luck.
