Never done that specific model yet, my father has a few I'd like to restore. Typically, I drill a hole in the base or create a notch on the very bottom where I run the power cord thru the pump. I sacrifice an extension cord, so that installing a plug end is unnecessary. I'll place an electrical box inside the pump where I wire a dimmer switch, usually mounted to the frame and somewhere easy to reach via an access panel. The extension cord runs up the frame to the box. i use cable ties to attach the power cord to the inside frame, small black ones. I typically put a knot in the cord on the inside at the bottom base, or use some method similiar to create a strain relief in case someone jerks on the cord. Then run up from the dimmer switch to the lights. Lots of times the pump has a switch near the top, i usually try to make that work if I can replace the switch. If not I'll put in a new push button on/off switch somewhere near the top. I use three wire electrical cord and usually ground in the electrical box. Also like to use LED light bulbs to keep the heat down, the pumps gets really hot inside being an enclosed space.
