WHOA!

I think I just drooled a bit over that Visimatic! Going to have to up my search game! LOL

Thanks, guys.

Joe, when you said swirl agitator, I knew sooner or later you'd be scouting a Visimatic. If you find a basic Kenmore you can always put in a Rotoswirl later. On the KM wringer washers, they're interchangeable.

Art, the marble was hypnotic to me as a boy--still is, and for some reason the colors stay fresh and unchangeable. I'll run down to the Visi later, as always, but for now, I'm pretty sure that both rollers are soft, haven't popped a button yet ;'D, a cork or too, for sure but not a button, lol.

Roto at rest:

@mickeyd

That is one sparkling Visimatic you have there do you have more than one wringer?
If so I could take care of one for you, last ad I saw for a wringer washer showed the location in the ocean, I'm assuming it was dumped.Yes, I know, the tragedy
Hope you can keep your machine running for a long time.

Wringer washer in the ocean, LOL Roscoe

If the Norge ever fall into the lake, I'll call you and you can pick her up when she washes ashore in Canada, probably at Point Abano.

I have a half dozen wringing machines.

Thank You.

half dozen wringing machines

every third month a different wringer, so this Norge would be used December/January by the looks of the colors in the wringer.Now that the brain has kicked in I remember this pic from before, it may have been from a post about line drying, anyways nice machine(s).
Tks

Good Memory

You know what Roscoe, those candy cane rollers are actually the cardboard covers that shielded the real things, more marble like the Visimatic's

This was an N- I -B, new in box machine, a very rare find indeed. That's the thread you remember, 5 or 6 years ago.

I'll find it later and link it for you and Joe and all the new wringer men we have.

my first wringer washer!

Hi everyone!

What a terrific site. I had no idea there was a group regarding these beautiful wringer washers! I have memories of helping my Mom when I was a child and now have just bought my own GE vintage wringer washer called a Lint Master. I will post some pictures once I clean it up a bit but the inside and the wringer are in excellent condition. Hopefully can find an owners manual. Any information about it would be appreciated.
