Spray rinse
Notice the black rubber spout and what portion of the spray enters the wash tub compared to the amount being shot over to the outer tub.

there's the plexiglass trying to prevent an electrical short out

This must have been the agi just before the Burpolator--Yes?
This machine did not come with a filter; it's the same model as the Norge for sale in Michigan. it's fun to watch the water come out in slots

This is what makes it a semi-automatic: there are four cycles, all with automatic shut-off
Pre-soak
Lightly soiled
Average Wash
Heavily soiled
or HOLD = motor on for drain or manual wash

Please excuse Moby and you got a hundred
Does your computer do this?: When I begin the subject drift, a whole list pops up, almost a history of every drift ever, in alphabetical order, and if you're not careful--boom, big mistake1 All I wanted to say was Thar she blows. That hundred was given to someone else. I'm giving myself a 40 for still being technically deficient. So hope you like the pix.

Marvelous!
I'd like to see the Old Lady doing a load of washing and wringing....
Is that possible?

Mickey, to the best of my recollection, Norge used that agitator only in wringer machines. The condom, reservoir end no less, is a nice touch, but I am grateful that normal installation of one does not require a hose clamp. While there was was an earlier agitator for the automatic that did not have the burp-o-lator pumping action, it was the same shape as the burp-o-lator. Before the burp-o-lator, the original agitator could be fitted with the Dispenser Wheel on top into which Calgon and a small amount of hot water were added. Like similar fabric softener dispensers, the solution was spun up into the outer chamber so that it dispensed when the washer stopped to fill for rinse. The Calgon helped release detergent deposits during the first part of the agitated overflow rinse and the overflow water rinsed away the Calgon-detergent solution to give good rinsing. That wide agitator in Norge's small solid tub is why Norge washers tested so well in washing. Unfortunately the pot metal pumps fast fell victim to corosion from the very alkaline detergents of the early 50s.
The GE photos were very dramatic. Have you bypassed the lid switch so that you can watch the spin with machine top down and the lid open? The way the fill flume allowed part of the water to spray directly into the outer tub was to help prevent suds lock between the tubs. With so much clearance between the inner and out tubs, you would not think that suds would form so readily during the wash drain, but it can. The first perforated tub V-12 machines had a nasty fill flume that sprayed water all over if the lid was lifted during fill. I replaced the one on my machine with a newer style that does not splash while filling. If you can find a piece of plexiglass or thick glass to sit over gasket around the tub opening, you can have almost as much drama without the "searing flash" of the sudden blackout. Did the GE absolutely drench you? We appreciate the sacrifices you made for art. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a fun weekend with the washers. Tom

Hi Ralf and Tom
I'd be more than happy to take pix of the Grand Old Lady washing. Normally she takes on the worst laundry chores: very heavy back door rugs; outdoor huge sandy/muddy beach towels and "floor rags." Messy, I keep old towels at the ready to foot mop the floor using a wide variety of "washing liquors." Ralf, would you prefer to see her take a break and do a nice load of easy clothes?
Funny you should mention condom, Tom. You released a memory. Wasn't it you who said that this agi DID have a sleeve-type filter available. Any that explain the why the slits are there? Or was it Robert? Wouldn't it be neat to see one.
Of course, all lid switches chez moi are by-passed; the portable Haier is tricky, though, as you well know. Think you and me and Pete are the only Haierites here.
Thanks, now I know why GE pumps are plastic, and they are really marvelous pumps, so instantaneous and forceful
Look closely and you'll see the cracks in the agi; hence the clamps--actually, it came that way.
Still love and use Calgon, esp. in the dishwasher; that and Clorox are my only other aids.
Thank You, Gentlemen

Ohh great pictures Mike, hey there is no cap on the Norge agitator, how does it stay down and not float up when the machine is filled with water? I might have a spare cap laying around here somewhere if you need it. I would think they would use they same threads as on the automatics.

Love to have the cap
The NUT is still there, I can unscrew it with pliers when I put the Norge Agi in the Speed Queen. That is so over the top!!!!!!!!!!! It's a real cool lookin' nut too, it's brass and has a tiny beaded or honeycombed texture--very classy for the grand lady
thank you i love you
