Robert has this in two forms of agitators that one below in this thread, does not have the angel wings assuming a look for Hamilton to give it there distintive look.
There was two agitators on the site that was here but I think Robert took out in the Cyber Museum.
But I think both Burp-a-later and Angel wing agitators should work.
Robert do you no what happen to the videos ???
I like the way that older Norge design agitates its like and old grandfather very slow its like ...
IIII Mooove Sloooow annnd Drraaaag Buuut I Caaan Role BURB lol.
The white tub is one of my faverites...solid tub with the holes up top.
Looks like no other tub.
Who ever gets this machine is lucky.

I remember the Norge "Angel wing" burpulator agitator in my Moms Norge washer-it also had the what looked like a chrome plated shiny lint pan.Loved to watch and listen to that thing work.The lower blades of the agitator had holes in them-and the blades had kinda of a railroad rail edges to them.Guess to lessen wear on clothes.Want one of those machines today-but in my "dead zone" area where I am--no basements for them to lurk in.Since the Floyd flood here all of the vintage vacuums and washers were lost in that flood that were in the swap shops.I can't remember the dial on the machine-if it had a knob or was a timeline.

Well, just my $.02 - but just because a washer has good rollover, that in and of itself does not make it a superior cleaning performer against straight vane agitators. Now I agree that the rollover is a bit more exciting to watch, but I have not seen any evidence that suggests rollover automatically = better cleaning. In fact, the Norges of the 1950s always ranked at the top of Consumer Reports washing ability as did the GE Filter Flo's of the later 60's and 70;s with their straight vane agitators. I guess it is a more complex equation - clothing moving through the water, etc...
Case in point, the Kenmore Roto Swirl agitators of the 50's and 60's looked dramatic, but cleaning was always considered average at best.
On the other hand, Frigidaires and the early Philcos (Automagics, Miss Americas) had great rollover and did very well in the cleaning performance department.
Go figure...
