Dont scrap it.. Norges were sort of a minor brand, a good washer but hard to work on, someone here will want it, but not worth a mint. | ||

Rick- I hope you get it! Even if it is to help save another Norge. Anything to save this machine from just being scrapped. There are people on here who do like the Timeline models. A few pics of this machine would be great without the junk all over it would also be good for the archives. Rick | ||

Steve Solomon in Roanoke,VA has one almost exactly like this (thanks to Peter H.) and has a round switch for water temp that matches the red switch on the timer. Thanks to Jason, his works, and is in the process of cosmetic restoration. He also has a brand new "holy" Burpalator he can drop in for a bit of extra action.

Yes, Greg was most helpful with this. It was in an old basement, and it was very hard getting it out of there. This machine will be used as parts. The machine I am going to restore is this one, from 1958. I already have most of it done, but I need a two speed Norge motor. (which this machine does not have) However I can use the suspension leaf and springs from this machine, and a few other parts.

Hi Todd. I am happy too! It was only about 60 miles away from my house. The 58 Norge I found while exploring with Kenny (Goatfarmer) in 2006. I knew it would not be an easy restoration, so I kept putting it off. I started on it over a year ago, but keep running into snags.
We added a 3rd bedroom to the rental house last fall, and we are adding a bathroom and a deck to the house we live in this coming summer. So we shall see if I get at least a little more progress done on the Norge this year. I definitely want to tear the parts machine down this weekend. It had standing water in it, and smells god awful! I rinsed it out with the hose, but it just about turns my stomach to walk past it. It stinks up a three car garage, its so bad! | ||

One thing is for sure... If and when you get one of them running...you will see that NOTHING outwashes a Norge! | ||

 Hey Rick, Wooooooooooooooow! One of my scarist thoughts is that room where the washer was and opening it up too see water that has sat in there for god how long aaaaaaaah.
How did you do it outside ? Anyway I know for sure when you do a project, It will be like it just was bought out of the store in that year ! Best of luck to you and the restoration job. Darren k | ||
