Congrats Yogi! The button on the top of the console is a reset button for out of balance switch.

Nice, I wouldn't try and start it without replacing any capacitors first.

For those unfamiliar with the place

Ocean City, NJ is down on Cape May and is a beautiful beach/shore town. Very family orientated so no so much "Jersey Shore" sort of thing. In fact the place is a "dry" county so if you want a drinky you'll have to do it in the privacy of your own home.

Ocean City was also voted America's best beach... http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/...h-in-America-in-poll-from-Coastal-Living.html

Great save, Martin!!  This one has a wash temperature selection - neat!   There's service documentation on them in the Ephemera library and you already have a wiring diagram - bonus.  Looking forward to seeing more about this one.  Wonder why??   LOL

Looking forward to seeing it "burping" away

 

 

Louie, FYI... this is a mid-50's model, about 15 years(?)  before they had the famous "burping" filter agitator.

Man, it's one of those nights that I just can't sleep. Am I gonna' be in a BAD mood today.

Those old Norges were really popular back in the 50's. In part I think because Consumer Reports rated them so highly. They washed very well in comparison with most other machines back then. It's a shame they didn't have a better pump on them. That seems to have been a real weak point with those machines. If they had a better pump they would have lasted much longer than most of them did, since the rest of the machine seems to have been pretty well built.

Martin I'm "ver-klempft".  I've never seen a Timeline with a cold wash selection.

Cold water

Me too, Bob!  I noticed that the other night, I figured it might be a lower-end model from 57-58?
