hello! i just purchased an old desk fan made around 1937 by Robbins & Myers thinking it worked fine but it grumble when turned on, and doesnt start without a push so i opened the gearbox to clean it and it was free spinning, i turned my attention to the electric side and it turn out someone messed with the wires in the past and bypassed what i assume is a run capacitor ( correct me if im wrong)

i drew the diagram of the current wiring, you can ignore the color as im not surre about it.since all the wire are gray.

any help is greatly appreciated!
