Ooh, an Ametek made motor. I would love to know as well for refurbishing my Oreck or this style. Does yours have the headlight or not?

It doesn’t have a headlight, any idea how to wire it.

On any simple vacuum like this there will be two wires from the cord to the handle, hot and neutral. The hot wire could be black or red and neutral ought to be white. The hot lead will go to the off-on switch. The white neutral lead will connect to the motor. Another wire exits the off-on switch and goes to the motor. Real simple, hot and neutral.
