More Norge

This is cool stuff! I do wish someone had pics of a 1960 Norge as that's what my dad bought to replace our awesome(in retrospect) '55 Whirlpool. He bought a near tol pair. I was leaning,with my elbows,on the half down 'load-a-door,'looking inside our new gems. Suddenly the door popped down THE REST OF THE WAY. I was unprepared for that & cracked my chin open slightly. The Norge had very small capacity for my moms overloading ways & I constantly heard the tub brake fighting the agitator. I was 5-8 years old during the Norge years & now would love to see how it could've washed with a proper load size. By the time we got our '63 Frig Imperial,I was starting to take over the laundry duties & the Frigidaire was the beneficiary.
 
I like the FL norge, I read the review in the archives. Does anyone in the club have one of these? Greg thanks for the good reading. arthur/alr2903
 
Nice scans Greg

We actually found one of those front loaders at the Farm, it was entirly rust red and un restorable! But it would be a fun find in someone's basement.

If I remember correctly John had said it was a totally Norge machine that lasted maybe a year if that.
What a jump to make the first automatic an 18 pounder though!!
Especially in 1948 or so.
That was not attempted again until the late 1960's by Norge and 1970's by the Big "F".
 
Thanks Greg!

Norge really had some great looking machines!
The combo looked like it weighed a ton! Such a mystery machine!
Great reading!
