On the curb in New Jersey, scrappers surely will get to it but perhaps worth a shot.

Someone in Ocean City was *GIVING* away a very nice Maytag wringer. Thing was gorgeous and even included the original plastic cover that it was stored under.
Of course by the time one saw the CL listing it was gone. Well it was four days later but guess someone jumped on it ASAP. In particular there is someone with *Wanted Maytag Wringer* ads for CL in NY, NJ, and PA. Am guessing since the person in my OP just put the thing out for whomever to collect they didn't want to be bothered with calls/emails and or other forms of contact. |

So often that is the case with craigslist 'curb alert' ads... The person who wants to get rid of the item simply doesn't want the potential hassles of "Oh, I can't get there now, but can you hold it until next November?".
It's bad enough trying to sell stuff these days with the 'no shows' that I really do understand why a curb alert ad poster would not want to include contact data.
On a happier note, there are no known sex offenders in the vicinity of where the washer was sighted... |

Unlike the "majority" of Craigs List posters, I do put contact info so I know when (if) someone is coming to pick it up and can delete the ad as soon as it's been picked up.
It really does piss me off when someone calls or texts, asking for my address, then never shows up! I tried repeatedly to GIVE away a coin-op GE filter flo I picked up for free, then stripped a couple parts off it. 3 people contacted me saying "Oh yeah I'll be there in 2 hours" or "At 3 pm"... but then don't show.
I even tried a "curb alert" listing the address and saying "come get it".. but nothing. Even had it on the curb for trash day and normally that's a for sure thing, but nope. It's been sitting here over a month now.

well, first thanks to everyone for their insights to finding this....
thanks to Kevin for chatting with me on the phone for the ride home, its a long dark ride in the middle of nowhere.... the guy came out and helped me load it......about the most he knew was it hadn't been used in 50 years.... the pulleys all turn at this point, looks like some oil has spilled out....will know more as I get time to plug it in, and see what happens..... |

Congrats on a great find! Yes, riding on dark lonely roads can be nerve racking, but it's oh so worth it on the drive home! I love the streamlined styling of this model...very cool! Enjoy your "new" Norge! |

Nice, I wouldn't try and start it without replacing any capacitors first. |

Ocean City, NJ is down on Cape May and is a beautiful beach/shore town. Very family orientated so no so much "Jersey Shore" sort of thing. In fact the place is a "dry" county so if you want a drinky you'll have to do it in the privacy of your own home.
Ocean City was also voted America's best beach... www.philly.com/philly/blogs/real-... |

Martin, that's like being the Master Power Switch to the whole machine. On the original Duomatics, the water temp knob was also the master power switch. On our 1956 GE (that looked like the FF model we see in the ads touting this new feature and like Jetcone's in his collection), our model looked just like the model that was FF, but didn't have a FF. The buttons where you selected water temp were "off", "warm", "hot" and "water saver". The "off" allowed you to pause the machine in mid-cycle without having to pull the plug. Timer dial didn't push or pull to start or stop machine. This is a BOL model? I wouldn't think with cold wash option. |
