Does anybody know a source for wiring diagrams for Kenmore canisters circa 1970s through 1980's? I have three of these with a fourth on the way. There us usually a schematic on a decal in the motor compartment but they are tiny and impossible for me to read, and often quite dirty. I am particularly interested in how the performance indicator sensor is correctly wired in. The models I have are:

11629971
1162399182
11622997

Inbound on UPS is:
1162041080

I am particularly mystified wiring in a two speed motor with five wires, a Hi/Lo switch with four wires and a Performance Sensor with two wires. I took one of these apart (11629971) to investigate the condition of the carbon brushes (toast), my first experience taking one of these apart and because it was so old and heavily used (wires were hard as rocks), as I pulled the halves apart the silly wire nuts that Matsushita used to connect the wires all popped loose and left me with a mystery to solve. I put a big Ametek Lamb 2 stage one speed high efficiency motor in it and came up with my own wiring scheme that so far works but I might like to put a two speed motor back in it someday. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
