Hobbyman2,
The Mark VII made in the 1960's is quite different than the Mark 7 made today as shown in the picture below.

So after looking through many pages in the forum, I came across this post about rebuilding the AO Smith 1/8 HP motor viewtopic.php?f=10&t=12664 which is extremely informative and at first read, seems to answer all of my questions regarding repairing the motor on the Mark VII, Thank you joshh!

Re: I was given a Mark VII by a friend....
I am going to guess the wire leads are rubber insulation if they are crumbling. Rather than replacing them slipping shrink ttubing over then may be preferable. Wire color will be crucial in getting the motor up and running.
So what manufacturer(GE/A.O.Smith/?) for the motor and does it have a start relay.
FWIW, the power switch/direction control is an unreliable and irreplacable part. Take good care of it!
