That's what we would all love to have, but unfortunately few if any such schematics exist or can be found today. I suggest taking lots of pictures from all angles at different stages during dis-assembly, that way you have a reference where everything belongs in your specific machine and motor.
Good luck

Welcome to this forum. When you discover the lack of documentation for a particular machine, then I suggest that you go ahead and document your adventure with photos along the way, and a description of the procedure. Then upload on this forum to share your hard-won knowledge . That is what many of us have done. In my case, repairing springs, governor and other bits in an Edison Opera phonograph.

If you need springs and other parts, Ron Sitco 518-371-8549 is a good person to start with.

The Model T (known in the Brunswick literature as the "Hampton") uses the Type B four-spring motor. I believe that I've seen the repair data somewhere on the Web, but cannot remember just were.

That's a Type C motor in your machine. The examples that I've owned (or scrapped) had the type B units. I wondr what your serial number is? You may have a late production machine turned out just beofre the Panatrope series was released.
