It appears not to be a true Norge, but likely just as self-destructive and lacking the wash action all the battered Norge fans love.

Lady K washer

Forget that Norge!! Here's a Lady K washer at the same estate sale. Unfortunately the pics are not the greatest, and there isn't one showing the "garage door" open.

But it does have the Vari-Flex agitator, and if it was taken care of as well as the Norge appears to have been, it's definitely worth saving! The location isn't great for me, but would be doable, if not for the fact that the pick up day is this Wednesday the 9th, which is a NO GO day for me.

I sure hope someone sees this and can save it. Or better yet, the lone $1 bid on the machine was put in by someone here.

Tried to post the pics but couldn't get them to save in a compatible format. Maybe someone else will have better luck.

The Norge is from the WCI era

Absolutely no contest.  The Lady K is the better built and infinitely more civilized machine.

 

[repairguy]

The Norge is still a Norge design machine built by Maytag around 1990.

The Kenmore

IS a better machine overall, but for plain brute washing ability of nasty work clothes Nothing has ever equalled a Norge

 

[rp2813]

". . . brute washing ability . . ."

 

That is a perfect description.

 

[goatfarmer]

Norge is more Magic Chef, than WCI

Next to that Kenmore is a wringer washer,  the plot thickens...
