Hello vintage-radio

I got this little Siemens-Schuckert desk fan as my first project. I opened it and the power cord was not the factory one but an older restoration. The replacement power cord had the old black/red colour wires and had been attached to the original motor cables, which as you can see are not in the best nick. Whoever did it had bypassed one of the switch contacts to earth the fan, so I only had two speeds rather than three.

While the original German plug has 220-250v printed on it, I don’t know if the same applies to the motor. I checked the motor and the winding is burnt on one side (the rest is fine). Can it be restored? I’d quite like it to work rather than become a fancy ornament, since I intend to install a new cable and plug.

I think rewinding a motor may be beyond my ken as a beginner collector, but I’m willing to learn if someone can point me the right direction, or suggest a professional to deal with the motor?

Thanks
