Only thing.

I see missing, is the chrome drainboards on each side of the wringer..Can't beat a NORGE!

 

[luckyfind]

missing in action

Yes. Missing the drainboard. Previous owner added a third roller and a stopper and appears used the forward/reverse to same side wring. Dont know why... perplexing for sure.

Sweet job, Jim

So glad you took a pic of the unique Norge two-pulley pump. On a wringer, it's very unusual. Normally, a wheel butts up to the drive when you engage the pump. Most levers actually move the pump up or over or both. How neat, fun, and kinky that used panty hose can substitute.

 

Trying to figure out what the last operator was doing with the wringer. Can you, if you have time, explain more and show more regarding the 3rd roller & stopper?

More on the stopper/3 roller

soon. (I'll take some photos tommorow). The "on/off" does what you were eluding to though... the "on" pulls (both wheels in tandom) the most inner wheel to the main belt engaging the impeler.... ha ha i think.

Im gonna try to find a good home for the Norge as i have found a new project. (Offered this Easy Wringer) for just under $100. Its starting in better condition to start.

cant wait to see these plungers work...

It runs with a few shorts... looks like a new cord and some copper polish.

dose not look

like a lot of work there, but I'l be looking forward to the before and after pics
Did you get the pump to turn on the Norge?

 

[luckyfind]

not getting

the pump going... went with the classy black nylons though... with a few knots for traction, and seems to be turning (trying to turn) the wheels... im working on the impeler and anything giving resistance. Still at it.

 

[stan]

You'll get

it going! I have confidence in you! LOL
