Norge Combo
False alarm I talked to the seller this morning and the machine is actually a Norge Wringer washer, the guy was really nice and was willing to sell it for much less than he was asking, so if anyone wants a wringer washer call him. So the elusive Norge Combo will still be very rare other than the one found on E bay last year that made its way to Iowa there are no others known to exist.

I thought we had experienced a similar listing for a wringer washer labeled a washer-dryer. Maybe if anyone listing a wringer had remembered Maytag's terminology of "roller water remover" they could have used that, but "dryer"? Never. | ||

I thought the area code (413) looked familiar, then I saw the ad. It's in Belchertown in western MA. Surprized he didn't list it in Springfield MA instead of Albany NY. Chuck | ||

where do people get the idea that a wringer is a 'washer
Paul -
I would guess that because the wringer is part of the water removal process, they consider it a "dryer" of sorts. Technically they'd be correct, as the wringer certainly does remove a lot of water, and 'drying something' means just that - removing the water. I'm not saying they're correct in their terminology....A lot of the 1950s and 1960s Kenmore literature I have refers to "spin dry" functions although the end result certainly does not leave typical laundry any kind of "dry" as we think of today. You could stretch that and say that this then means that every wringer and automatic washer is a dryer then also, but some people look at things they don't understand well in often weird ways. These things just strike us more directly becaue we are so much more atune to the subject matter than most. Gordon | ||

When the first Bendix Automatic Home Laundry machine was tested, it was noted that its spin removed less water than a wringer. Bendix said a sufficient amount of water was retained in the load to enable bleaching by the sun when line dried which was more spinning than the machine did. | ||
