[GreenKeys] AC Sync Wire Lead

[Kevin DeWitt]

Greetings

My latest WU 2B with the 3A Gumming Table is getting a new-to-it AC
Synchronous Motor. Upon attempting the install it has been determined that
the cloth covered wire insulation on the leads is much crunchier than I
like. The leads appear to be about 16 gauge. The leads on the other 2B I
have are closer to 18 gauge. I checked it with a meter and it wasn't
shorted but I do not trust it.

So, it seems to me like the next step would be to (gently) pull the fan and
attack it from that end but wasn't there some discussion about difficulty
in (pulling the fan) several years ago? I tried to search the archives but
found nothing. So, rewire or no and if so can i get away with 18 gauge?
