Default Restoring Electric Wiring on vintage White Sewing Machine

I have an 100 yr old White Rotary which I'm restoring, the machine and cabinet are solid. The wiring is a mess. This machine is in a Martha Washington cabinet and the power to the machine is actuated by a knee pedal inside the cabinet.

The knee pedal actuates the power in the electrical hookup box you see recessed in the top of the cabinet. The cylindrical ends/connections on the wires do not come apart, they would be destroyed. I'm looking for good genuine replacements or a source for this type of connector.

What I do not know is if the insides of these connectors perform anything with the electrical besides just being a pass-through connector.

Any help is appreciated.

Many plugs can be re-used (most Singer plugs can be). Is there any way you can open them up and replace the wiring and put them back together? (I can't see all sides of the plugs.)
