Wiring question - Westinghouse Type CAH 1/4HP

There’s 6 leads total. The 2 longer ones on the right go to the centrifugal switch. The other 2 pairs go to the main terminals that accept the wires from the power cable. Each of the 2 switch wires show continuity with one of the wires going to a terminal, but the other 2 wires do not show continuity with any other wire. Can someone explain the wiring to me? Why are there two wires that aren’t showing continuity with anything right now? This motor works great btw, I’m just trying to understand how the wiring works in this type of induction motor. Thank you for your help, I am new to this stuff but really want to learn.

Anyone know where I can get replacement bearings for an antique Westinghouse 1/4HP type CAH?

Anyone have an idea of a reasonable ballpark price for this? Neighbor’s husband died and I don’t want someone to take it for $100 bc she doesn’t know the value. No model # but says Clausing MFG. it runs fine and sounds good. Thanks for the help.

Fit & finish is improving, performance not so much! Mild r/d Osage 64” ntn 45@29, 138fps w/655gr arrow. Gonna try to get the tips more forward of the handle next time and start the reflex further in on the limbs. Vinegaroon/tru oil. My first beaver tail grip, stitched w/calf lace. Super fun to make!

Thanks to Weylin from Swiftwood bows for sharing his stitching technique with me.
