I am restoring a 1950s emerson northwind table top fan. Problem is i disasembled it years ago and just now got around to the restore. Im sure at the time of disassembly i thought id remember how all the wires connected.....not so much!
It is a multi speed fan motor. 3 wires of seemingly the same color come out of motor. Switch has 3 wires; red, blue, and black. 2 wire lamp cord.
I did some research and then tested resistance between motor wires to determine what was what. I labeled them A, B, and C. B is common. A is the line with a start run capacitor in it. C is the plain power line.
Testing continuity between switch wires as switch is moved to each position, i get continuity on...
Blue to red
Blue to black
Red to black
Then it repeats.
I know there were 4 wire nuts total because i saved them.
Can anybody tell me how to tie it all together?
