Looks like this MW washer is in good shape for its age. Might be a good deal if mechanically sound.

Forgive me...
What on Earth is a boomstick? I don't normally like Harvest, but that one isn't bad.

According to Urban Dictionary, a "boomstick" is a 12 gauge, double barrel shotgun.

Boomstick...
C/L has a policy against the buying and selling of firearms and ammo. The cute way of getting around such is to use terms such as 'boomstick', 'personal defense items' or the most common one which is 'things that go bang'. That being said, many listings like this get flagged anyway by people who act as the 'Craigslist Police'...

Now, now, there are some of us who love the "lullaby" sounds of a Wards/Norge machine. I happen to have the same model in Harvest Gold, but with white fabric softener dispenser. Great machine!

HERE HERE Todd!!! It's the TOL model too!!!

You'll tell 'em Todd. Actually our '64 Plus-Capacity Wards is one of the best machines in the basement performance wise. Cleans really well, so well in fact that I rarely ever use the full 10 minute wash period and it spins excellently for a large capacity machine of this era!

I love the sound of an old Norge. Especially RickR's Touch and Wash.
A sound unlike any other!

Well of course it's a good machine. And the noise is more like waking the dead, but what a glorious noise! At least with all the fun sounds you KNOW it's doing something. Thanks for the video post, Robert!

Norge - Wards Washers
Were indeed always good performers, but I can't believe that Robert is endorsing a non-solid tub, neutral draining washer as one of the best performers in our basement, [ there is hope ] LOl.
But I must also agree with Ralph, a Norge built washer has NEVER been a washer that I would give to my Mother let alone even sell to a customer either new or rebuilt.
It is a very cool collectable washer however and I will be having a major Norge announcement next week, with pictures.

Ralph,
I could hold this machine for you if you'd want to come to WI and get it. I think your household needs something to add a little excitement to everyday life.

Tim, did you not open the link to Rick's machine??? You are greatly mistaken with your perception of me as a masochist. I have declared this former House of Wards a Snorge-free zone forever. :-D
RCD: The Empire State Building would be preferable.

Oh, all this picking on Norge! My one and only Norge is a 1978 model, in wonderful condition and a powerhouse of a washer. Great turnover, capable of oversized large loads, extra-high-speed extraction, built like a tank. Louder than hell for sure, and I have to turn the volume up on the TV when it's running, but worth every bit of noise. The "Burp-O-Lator" agitator for detergent dispensing and lint filtering works very well and is FUN. Maybe other folks experience isn't as good with Norge, but I'm very happy with mine. Yes, delicates go in a different machine, but big loads of towels, jeans, throw rugs, etc, are perfect for this noisy brute. And with various Maytags, Kenmore/WP, GE, and 1-18's to compare it to, no others in my current line-up offer so much variety for agi speed independent of spin speed, and 5 temp combinations. And the partial neutral drian followed by the immediate spin/spray does a great job of rinsing too, never a suds-lock.
I'm glad there are so many different old machines and variations from all the manufacturers, it keeps this hobby interesting, you never know how your exact machine will stack up against other folks experience. My Norge experience is clean and reliable and loud.

My Monkey Norge... Touch n' Go Deaf
Ralph, that was what caused the last earthquake out there. Someone did a full load in a Monkey Norge Touch N' Wash on the faultline!
I still love the Norge built machines. You would be shocked if you knew what a restoration project I have been working on this winter....

Rick, is this a certain machine I know of, that's resided with you for some time? And that I helped retrieve?
Hey there Kenny! Yes, it is. Don't know when it will be done, but they are both torn down now. I should be able to make one (the 1958) out of both. I have the timer/motor, and motor finished so far. Leaving for a two week vacation Sunday though.

Mr. Norgeway probably won't address this thread albeit dear to his heart. Because just about every superlative he would say about awesome Norges has already been stated!!!
