Re: Norge set: This set is I think around the latter 70's at least that would be my guess? These were very tough washers and dryers. The washer had a 3/4 hp. motor and a commercially proven transmission in it. The Dryer had an 8 cft. drum and a 21 inch steel fan in the back of the drum that...

Re: Kelvinator and Gibson: When we moved to North Platte, Ne. area in 1971. The place where we bought our Frigidaire 1-18 set, also sold Kel. and Gibson and I remember them being featured with double scrub tubs, which was the indexing tubs at the time, and I remember this very vividly. The...

Re: Frigidiare Dishwashers If you do go with a Frigidaire dishwasher go for a more top of the line, don't go with Mol or bol as they won't wash as well. I have a Mol Frigidaire and it doesn't do very well our Maytag jet clean dishwasher did a better job by far and also our KitchenAid (Hobart...

Re: Auger Agi. I couldn't agree with you more golittlesport about the auger agitatiors I hate them they don't work as well as the manufactrers would like us to think they do. A friend has had two Kenmores and is now on a Whirlpool and has hated each one as they don't roll the clothes over like...

Re: MagNorgetags: I'm sorry but I used to have a Magic Chef washer and it was a pretty nice machine at lest it was better than Whirlpool crap which I haven't liked since they started putting the auger agis in there washers I would rather have a straight vane agi. and btw the Magic chef lasted...

Re: Whirlpool new washer: Sillysuds: Why not try one of the Frigidaires or a Speed Queen washer, In my opion there better then Whirlpool. Sorry not a friend of Whirlpool right now, not after the takeover of Maytag and what they've done to it. Thanks, Danf.

Re: Washers in the central states: Most of the washers in the central states or Nebraska I should clarify would be the Dependable care Maytag or Speed Queen as this is mostly farming community and they mostly had the wringer washers on them. The next would be Kenmore/Whirlpool, then most likely...

Re: Which washer I like best: The washer I like best is a front loader. Why?,because they let you watch the machine while it's working usually. More efficent and clean better but don't get me wrong I also like the regular top loaders with a straight vane agi. or a ramped agi. because of the...

Re: Westinghouse washer Thanks for the pictures of the slantfront laundrymats. The 1951 is the same one that my Aunt Hellen had when she lived in Genesee/Hickox, Pa. Remember when she would be washing clothes how I loved to watch that machine except when it would start to spin then it was time...

Re: Consumer Reports I haven't liked CR. for quite some time like in the past 30 years. For instance when I worked for M.W., in the early 80's they always raited our washers very low when we really had one of the best washers money could buy. It was stronger than what anyone else was putting...

Re: Westinghouse washer Westy I absolutely love the Westinghouse washer wish I had one like it. It has very good roll over. awsome video by the way. Danf.

Re: washer purchase If I had to go and buy a new washer today I would be one of three. 1. Would be either a Frigidiare or a Speed Queen, have looked at both of them and both are pretty good quality. Electrolux has done wonders for Frigidaire buy putting 3/4 hp motors and steel gears in the...

Re: Norge Time line washer/ When I was just about one or two My mom had the matching gas dryer for the timeline washer we didn't have the washer but just the gas dryer and my mom loved that dryer, but we traded it for a big electric stove from my great Aunt Mariam Miles who had the big electric...

Re: Montgomery Wards Hi guys it's me I'm back. Some of you have said that you didn 't have a Montgomery Wards in the South some of the stores were Jefferson Wards which I remember being talked about in our store meetings. I worked for Montgomery Wards from 1980-1983. So some of the stores down...

Re: rinse and spin Robert on our Montgomery Wards washer that we had it did not have any spray rinse on the last spin, either our machine was deffective or maybe it was just because it was a MOL machine. I deffinetly remember it as I was very proud of this washer. I also worked for Montgomery...

Re: New washer and dryer set: Another sugestion it you want new would be mid to upper line of Frigidaire or even check into the new Speed Queen. The Frigidaire co. have really come up in their quality since Electrolux has taken them over. These are the ones that I recomend to people when asked...

Re: Montgomery Wards/Norge: The Wards washer that I had didn't spin spray on the last extract just spun that's all. All the brands that Norge built for was Norge, Admirial, Magic Chef, Montgomery Wards, Crosely,(on some of their models some were made by Whirlpool), Gambles for awhile then they...

Re: Cartoons When these cartoons were made it wasn't meant to be degrading it was to show how different people react to different situations and show the eccentric qualities of different people and to make it funnier not to put anybody down. Because at the time Tom and Jerry were made this is...

Re: Oxydol; Oxydol is not the same as it used to be. When Proctor and Gambles sold off the Oxydol line to Redox they changed the formula and its not as good as it used to be. I have used it and did not get as good results as I used to when we were using it back in the 80's and 90's. But I have...

Re: different washer and dryer: I agree with pdub and you should be able to find a Ge. Filter-flo or possibly a late 70's Speed Queen with the solid tub either one of these should stand up to one to two loads a day and not give you to much grief. Or better yet if you can find a Fedder/Norge...
