That model was the real beginning of the large tub models made by many other companies after that. This tub was definitely the biggest for quite some time. LOL It went from a 14 lb. tub to a 22 lb. tub at the end of this era.

Ah, to have that set today. I have had the dryer more than once, but never the washer. As well as Norge washers of that vintage washed, rinsed and spun out the clothing with little wear to them, they just did not stand up in service very long. It's a shame, since even though they had a very...

These were pretty good machines. They were somewhat smaller in capacity than the 29" models though, but they had two true speeds and washed quite well.

Maytag Nevermind that there are more old Maytag machines around that people still use daily. They were simply the best designed, well functioning machines EVER made. You certainly don't see many old Norge machines being used, they were taken to scrap metal long ago. Hard pressed to even find...

Maytag Been said many times before, but Maytag made the most outstanding machines in operation and in dependability ever created. You can still find many of the old Maytag machines operating regularly as daily drivers for many people. For many years they made the competition pale in...

norgeway Too bad you could never afford a NEW Maytag, since by the time they start slinging oil or grease they have been used to death.

Guess we'll never know...

Gas dryers I come from a family that ALWAYS had gas dryers. The one I have now is gas too. It is an LG and dries quite quickly, but then the washer spins out so well the clothes are practically dry when they come out. I do recall my ma's old Norge dryer that was very quick indeed. You could...

A sad time for Frigidaire washers and dryers. The washers were a somewhat cheapened version of WhiteWestinghouse machines that wash adequately, but spun below par. The dryers were the poorest made machines I have EVER seen before or since and had horrible service records.

One of the really interesting washers made in the 50's that washed in a "different" way.

The pictures I have seen of them make them look like they were built like tanks and the double axis with 2 bearings are probably why there are still some around. Seems like a wave of the future which never actually caught hold until recently. Too bad they had to be bolted down otherwise they...

The reason Maytag customers didn't buy another Maytag was because the one they had was till washing away long after Kenmore/Whirlpool models bit the dust and were replaced over and over. Maytag were the most durable machines ever made back in the day.

wayupnorth You are remembering the TV ad wrong. The Frigidaire sucked down the sock in a matter of seconds and the Kenmore was still working on pulling it down at the end of the commercial.

Those dryers are really quite good. They dry more evenly than the SOH dryers and are super quiet as long as you keep the pulleys and blower lubricated.

Is the belt greasy? If so, it has a transmission leak and the belt is trying to go full speed.

That's what I say!!!!

What does the lucky individual win if they guess everything right?

Hamilton made terrific dryers and Norge made the washers to match their dryers at the time.

Marvelous machines for washability. Not so great for dependability...
