Mike! Holey snikeys! You know I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Maytag wringer man, but that Norge is breathtaking! I swear, I've got the vapors.

Don't be teasing Lyle, though. We have an agreement that I'll be hanging laundry for you at 90! He has a loooooong wait for that bequest! LOL

WOW !!

Your Norge Wringer leaves me totally speechless. I and many others would give nearly anything to own it. I am happy you showed us this beauty.

Really, I had no idea. Thanks so much, Jim and Keith. You g

and now for total comic John comboesque sacrilege: I like the Visimatic better. I'll have to get pictures. Back to Norge.

The Business Shot: Automatic shut-off and Soak. Waiting for the Wringing.

Hey you guys - this is fantastic!

Glad that this thread has sparked so much interest - and participation! Thanks to everybody for posting pics, and keep 'em comin' !

I'm posting a pic of an unknown brand - anybody hazard a guess?

I am pretty sure that is a Beatty wringer? The 'horns' on the head and the ripples on the leg and the cover on the handle. It looks very much like my grandmother's. Her sister's brother, worked at Beatty.

Re. unknown in #73. Beatty

Hi Brian...thanks for the input! It's a fine, classic-looking model, isn't it?

Here's another shot of a vintage Beatty - I may have posted this already in a previous thread.

If you look at the washer in the background of picture #13, that is the one I took last summer at the "Poor House " in Elora. It has to be a Beatty. The 'Poor House ' was between Elora and Fergus. The Beatty factory was in Fergus.

MickeyD - What a beautiful Norge wringer. I have seen this in a long ago post but missed the fact that it was 'new in box'. How did you ever come across it? I really love that coral colored dial too.

Brad - Those are some nice Beatty's too!

Just wanted to share the beauty, and when asked, I yield. A man in Michigan had the Norge in a closing appliance shop, old stock, and he sold it on ebay. The candy stripe wrappers on the rollers were so cool, I almost didn't use it. The pic on the deck are from the day it arrived via U-Crate. I think the price was &250 ish. I'll have to do some fact checking. The iphoto library says her birth photo was June 1st, 2008, so I've had her 5 years. No extant vids, but I'll add it to the list. It is a very quiet machine. All you hear is the soft swish of the water jets. Even the pump is quiet.

I most love the Wash & Soak feature. With a load of heavily soiled stuff, you set the control, walk away for the afternoon, and come home to really clean clothes. If you're not satisfied, you dial up another wash cycle. Of course, you could have set the dial to HOLD, and let the load wash all afternoon. Wringers have a whole host of not commonly known advantages.

I need to take new pix of the restored modiified Visimatic. Here's an old one.
