I am rewiring my antique brilliant cleaner, and the wiring on it was very messed up. Only one wire was going into the motor, which pretty much everything tells me is wrong. It also has this weird rubber, metal covered box thing that a wire goes into and comes back out of. Mr. Gasko, could you post a picture of the motor wiring on yours so I have a guideline? Thank you!

Looks like mine is different, or has had this box added on afterward. I think it was after, as the terminals had tape, the wiring was super confusing, and it has had at least one screw replaced, indicating it was taken apart at some point. It only had one wire going in, had 3 coming out of the stator(2 of which were brush wires). One of the brush wires(not the brushes themselves) came right out of the stator as well, so there are only 2 left. I may have to have it rewound. What might this box thing do? I has 2 wires coming out, and one terminal soldered to it. The inside is like a rubber insulation.

A screw and spacer on one side, and it bolts under the motor on the bolt-peg for the other. It had writing on it at one point, but that went away when the vacuum started to rust. The screw doesn't seem in place though, as the only other place where actual screws are used are for the switch mount. Otherwise it is bolt pegs and nuts.

People didn't really have radios during the 'teens' (1910 - 1920) when that was a new machine. So I don't think it's a radio static suppressor. Is your machine rated at 120 volts? There were many farms that used 32 volts then, could it have been a voltage converter? Also, half this country used DC and the other half used AC. it's possible it's an AC - DC converter.
