Default New to sailboats and could use a little help

I recently acquired an old Cox Tradewinds sailboat that looks to be in good condition. I would like to get it ready to sail but it has a couple of problems. The main one being that I don't have the transmitter. Even if I had it, it would not be usable as it is in the 72 mhz range(72.8 if memory serves me) It has a Sanwa receiver and servos. I will get a new radio for it but I would like to keep the servos or at least the sail winch servo. I need to know how to rewire the servo lead. I can do that if I can find out how the servo is wired. It has 3 black wires in the connector so if someone can tell me which wire is signal, + and minus it would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any help. Mike
