I recently picked up this Michelob rotating light that apparently had been dropped. The top disk insert (where the hanging hook would be) was smashed, the plastic logo portion was cracked with several sections missing, the internal frame housing the wiring was badly dented, the cord was in bad shape (originally meant as a hard-wired ceiling light), and some of the wiring connections were pulled apart.
I’ve repaired the top disk (as best I could), created a new logo portion, and hammered out the frame, but I need guidance on how this should be rewired. I’m including internal photos of all wiring disconnected. Note that the original sign had a ground wire connected for the box, but I have removed that and replaced it with a cord that will be plugged into an outlet.
The only connection that stayed completely intact during the drop was the right light connector to the right ballast wire.

- TL;DR
- I could really use some assistance in rewiring a Michelob beer sign. Normally, I replicate the existing wiring, but most of these connections were pulled apart when the sign was apparently dropped.
