Picked up this rare and unique machine today, a Norge coin op!
I’ve never known Norge to be around in Australia so I was quite shocked and surprised to see one here. I picked it up from a sweet old lady who used it when her husband was alive but once he died it went into the shed for something more compact. She was happy it was going to someone who appreciated it and would give it some care. Upon turning it on it popped a connection on the wire between the timer and pressure switch so with Leon’s (mayfan69) guidance I was able to repair that nice and easily (thanks Leon!). The inlet pipes and solenoids are a bit ropey but I will tinker with them as I go. The pump has also given up after the first spin so I’ll have a look at that too. All in all it works just needs its hand held as it goes through. Very happy to have found this beauty. Can anyone give me a date for it by any chance ? 🙂 Happy New Year! Matt | ||

That’s a real Norge washer
It was probably built sometime between 1967 and 1974, model serial number might help. You’ll also find dates on most of the components such as the motor inlet valve timer water level switch. The bottom of the agitator probably has a mold date on it.
Hopefully the driveline is in good shape. This machine will stir up and agitate a big load, Norge washers were always good performers. John | ||
