Monkey Norge Videos

[tolivac]

Thank you for the video clips-they remind me of the Norge washer my Mom had when I was little-remembered it had the big black 4 bladed "Burpulator" agitator and a shiney metal lint pan.Esp liked its Deep rinse cycles.Now I will need to ask the swap shops out here if they ever run into Norge or "monkey" Ward machines-the last time I asked the swap shop operators said Norges were rare out here.Maybe one will turn up someday-like a Magnavox console Hi-fi.Those are rare here too.

Is it me or are those videos very crisp?

Great videos Rick!!! Very clear and crisp too, are you using a newer high definition video camera? If not maybe Youtube has upped the amount of resolution on new incoming videos.

Thanks Robert! Yes, I finally bought a Kodak 12 pixel high definition camera at xmas this year. I had been waiting for years for the picture quality to match my old 35mm camera, and they finally got the digital cameras up there.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone! This is a FUN machine to play with.

Forgot to post this video....

How could I forget this one??? The demo of the famous Norge brake and the Touch n Wash timer again.

Great video with the action, sounds, and the unusual control panel of this machine.

BANG!

That is one awesome washer! Love the blue light effect on the dial. Very calming to watch and see... until it spins.

I didn't know Norges did neutral drain right before clunking into spin. How fun is that?

What a beautiful & very unique washing machine.

This washing machine is special in so many ways .

I like how it sprays water out the top sides of the agitator in wash mode.

Also like the cool blue filter over the fluorescent light.

Its easy to fall in love with this machine.

What a wonderful find !!!!!!! Congratulations

Hi Rick now that what you call a "Rapid Advance Timer" often seen over here on Philco bendix machines, although I`m sure those didnt revolve as quick, lovely machine has everything you need with filter flow, dispensers and wide sweep wash, enjoy it, Mike

That is what I grew up with my Parents bought a new Norge 20 Lb washer and dryer.They were white and would wash the living daylights clothes that is for sure.One thing ours didnt do was the water comming out of the back thing.That is where ours filled with but thats it.The lint filter was the same they were bought in May 1972 and died when I started college in 1995..Great vids brings back a ton of memories.

Ok, will do!

My brother and boyfriend have been rewiring the house and are almost finished. The furnace and central air are installed, and the a/c was charged up this afternoon as is blowing cold. The new plumbing is installed, and the garage roof goes on this Sunday morning. So we are making progress, and the house is going back together now.
I will make a video today, and post it later this weekend. <:
