The wiper squeaks a little when turned, there is no plug on it, no fuse, nor is there a receptical, but there are the appropriate terminals for such. Does this sound like a deal, and if so, which terminals go to the power cord and receptical? Thanks for any advice.

Hard to say on this one. $25 isn't bad, but I would want to know if it was in good shape or if it had been stressed during its "lifetime" (for lack of a better term). Are the input/output terminals not labeled at all?
