So at some time from 1955 the Dutch Fridor machine came to Australia and was sold by Pinnock. On this page is also a detailed description of the Fridor machine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naehmaschinenverzeichnis.de\/verzeichnis-der-naehmaschinen\/fridor\/\">Fridor &#8211; Naehmaschinenverzeichnis<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column-26b38981\" class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-advanced-column\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1486 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"381\" src=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1486 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8.jpg 786w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8-600x291.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8-768x372.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/fridordutchad8-18x9.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pennant (Penola, SA : 1946 &#8211; 1955), Thursday 14 July 1955, page 8 <strong>http:\/\/nla.gov.au\/nla.news-article209478426<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pinnock Fridor Merino<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pinnock seem to have use the Fridor name randomly on its machines. Some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/eyemaozi.org\/trendsetter\/\" title=\"Trendsetter\">Trendsetters<\/a> are badged Fridor instead of Pinnock, yet are identical to those badged as Pinnock. I have seen some overseas Toyota Pinnocks badged as Fridor. For the sake of this page of my website I am referring to the Dutch machine made in the Netherlands, which was also marketed overseas as Fridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the Dutch machine, there are a number of Yellow Pinnock Fridors in private collections around the country. I have also seen a few grey machines advertised from time to time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my collection I have a grey machine that is a 115V, it was rescued after being left out in the rain, its case is ruined and I have not used it as it would require a step down transformer. It is a knee operated machine and the lever is broken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also have a yellow Pinnock Fridor Merino, kindly sold to me by another Aussie collector, this one is 240V, which is what we use here in Australia, this one I assume is one of the Pinnock marketed machines. It is a foot pedal\/lever operated machine. Images of my two machines below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Update 01 Feb 2023, I have rescued another poor yellow Fridor. Photos below. A bit worse for wear and seized, so it will go in my spares pile, you just never know when it will come in handy. It has no extension table, but has a cool footpedal. This one has a plate that says &#8220;Made in the Holland with Swiss design&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Free PDF manuals from my google drive. <a
