I'm trying to rewire an old Western Electric dest top fan style W-134 3. (aprox 1910) How do get the windings out of the housing to attach the new wire? The wire was cut off at the housing and it looks like it has to attach to the winding somewhere.

If you can, take a picture and post using go advanced/manage attachments.

Once you find the wire and solder, insulate with 4228-55ML MG Chemicals Chemicals
