Help with rewiring Rek O Kut B12H (Ashland motor)

In taking apart the Rek O Kut B12H for cleaning, I was careful to label all wiring ends so as not to rewire incorrectly. Evidently I wasn't careful enough to keep a couple of the labels from slipping off, and now I find myself asking "where does this wire go???". I don't want to take a guess and ruin the unit once it's plugged back in, so does anyone have a wiring diagram? The Ashland Hysteresis Synchronous motor has four wiring coming from it, unlike the Pabst motor of the B12GH, which only has 3. thanks.

Hmmm, thanks for the try. This diagram is for the K33H. I'm working on the B12H. The Ashland motor actually has 4 wires coming from it, the K33H diagram shows just 3. And there's also a large motor capacitor in the B12H.
 
@beatcomber will know just PM him. That's the go to guy since he has more knowledge than me on ROK tables and has a great thread on the TT when the search thing gets worked out on AK you will find the thread.
 
Sorry Gary, your pics are so close up I can't tell where a connection begins and then ends.
 
Just seems that over the years previous owners have re-routed the wires from original specs.
 
Question. The previous owner had these fiber washers between the arm base lock nut & the plinth. Should they not be there to get a firm arm base mounting? Or any other reason?

I’m fairly confident the washers are to try and mitigate vibration/noise, they certainly don’t hurt….
