I would like to convert my Williams & Hussey molder from 115v to 220v but I seem to be color blind. Instead of a colorful collection of wires all the wires are either yellow or white and most are identified with numbers that correspond to the W&H manual and the cover plate on the motor.
I am at a loss trying to identify the 3 wires that are coming out of the motor and joined together (see photo, bottom cluster with yellow wire nut). The are not directly tied to the power cord but are joined together. The manual call for #2 white, J Brown and #5 Black. One of the wires is printed as #5 (yellow wire) and the other two are both white. One of the white wires is same diameter as #5 and has CL 1251LPE RP printed continously on the insolation and the other wire is white with no markings. The unmarked white wire is a larger diameter than the other 2 wires.
Any advice how I can identify which of the 2 white wires is the "J Brown" and which is
"#2 white"?
Perhaps some other W&H owner has overcome this problem. I've contacted W&H but they seem to be stumped also.
Thanks for any suggestions.
