Peter,
Actually, I prefer the term "Pilots" and collectively as the Spitfire
Squadron.
But on your wiring question, the heater only has one motor that is
controlled by a 2 position switch and a resistor that draws extra
current and slows the motor down.
You can either strip the old finish off and refinish it (If you can
without destroying the veneer), or you can apply a new veneer of your
choice to obtain your own personal preference.
Regards,
Joe
