Someone posted this comment to the 1988 Norge washer video on my youtube page.
"This machine in 1988 was actually built and owned by parent company Maytag under the Maycor division at this time, though they remained for the most part a Norge design. These machines were also sold as Magic chiefs and under and also the budget minded line of Maytag's Perfoma series. All up to the time of Maytags sale to whirlpool. They where very nice machines for the price point and good value. I was in appliance sales at that time."
I know Norge machines were sold under the Magic Chef name around this time, but were Norge built machines ever sold as a rebadged Maytag Performa series machine?? This just doesn't seem right to me. Everything about my '88 Norge washer screams "Norge from the 60's / 70's" but I've never seen a Norge interior like this under the lid of a "Maytag" (even when they were swirling around in the toilet bowl).
Thanks much!
Kevin
