A "new" cabinet for the Monkey Norge

[rickr]

This cabinet had dents, rust out, and warped metal from sitting in the junkyard for years. I had fixed it, straightened it, and patched and painted it as best as I could during the restoration a couple years ago. It still tended to make me "seasick" to look at it.....

I found this newer parts machine last summer, thanks to the guy across the street. Unfortunatly, the lower cabinet, and a few other parts were all that were salvageable.

I sanded and painted the lower cabinet white, and installed on the Monkey Norge, and we were vorpulating in style last night!

Another blue light--I love it

Remember last year when you showed a machine with a blue light that drove us gaga.

Vintage Rickr restoration--fabulous! Those unusual main dials, like the one on your new baby, are the stuff of washermen's dreams.

You're so lucky. Happy high noon to you, and thank you.

She looks absolutely graceful, but I'm sure she's anything but when spashing about.
