Hi Dwight. Congratulations on finding a Norge Time Line. They are so rare. Two of my aunts had them and I loved watching them when I was young. I also liked the sound of the pump. Is your machine working? Ross |

Congratulations on finding the Norge and saving it! Looks like it is in good condition, considering it is over 50 years old. Robert has restoration pixs of one of those posted in this site. I think the 1950's Norge machines are very cool. I found a couple 1950's Norges, but mine are junkyard queens. Don't know if I will be able to do anything with them or not.They have sat outside for 40 years. Would like to make one good one, if possible, from parts of both. These are covered with a tarp behind my garage now. |

So is this one a 1956 model? I didn't see the POD on it. |

They sat out about 40 years. I just can't throw them away! I busted myself up good dragging these out of the junkyard too! Kenny was helping me, and he knows! lol! I have a 1960 Frigidaire to do next, then I want to try to fix the later model Norge. If all else fails, I will save the timer and trans parts for Robert and you. It may be a 2008 project. Got to tuck point the bricks on the front porch of the house this year. YUK! Would much rather restore a 1950's Norge.... |

"Feel the solid sound of harmony, knock on any Norge"! Good job and thanks to a huge trunk of a Chrysler Newport-those cars were so huge they had thier own zip code! Phil |

Looks like it should have had some kind of a back. Also, it appears that a kick panel is missing at the front. |

Here's a close up of the tag. Come to think of it, looks like the model is AW-450S |

This is Carmine, the guy who helped Captain Moody get the washer. Here's a picture of it in the car. (If this works correctly) Since I did a good deed saving the washer, can i mention that I have a Frigidare Flair range I'd really like to unload???? |

FANTASTIC find -- no matter who found whom. I sure hope you can get that old girl up and running. You might want to wear ear plugs. Jerry Gay |
