Hi All, Here are some pics from the latest find, although the garage is already full, we couldn't resist and bought this lovely mid 70's from a charming lady who was using it for washing until this morning. Michael & Nathan |

I just love the subtle difference in language on the dials: Colours vs Colors, Woollens, vs Woll, in the US. But a great Machine, what a set of options. Wish I could be at the Down Under wash in, who knows...but what a trip from New York. |

Nate, this is beautiful! I had no idea it would be in this pristine condition, what a score. I sounds like the tub ring needs to come off for a cleanout of the filter-spout. They get clogged with lint and minerals and end up just a dribble. A quick and easy fix and if that's all the machine needs, you're in Double Action Washing heaven! |

In such good condition! What a great find! Those things were very aggressive washers. And a water temp. booster---fabulous! Congratulations! |

Great machine! I am amazed at the similarities between Australia and the USA, especially in the laundry arena! Seems like both former British colonies that are "at the ends of the earth" share a great deal. Speaking of Toggles, interesting to see up as "off" and down as "on"; ours would probably be the other way around to emulate a US wall-switch! Is the load-size selector in *GASP* pounds (weight)? Also what would the wash temps be [warm/hot?] Thank you ! |

My Aunty had a similar machine, lower spec. How I loved to watch it wash! I love on the control panel how it features "double wash action" making a feature of its indexing tub. May I ask what the charming lady you obtained this machine from replaced this machine with? |

She had bought a new house that came with new appliances, and didn't want to have to move the washer from the old house. I hope she's happy with whatever she ended up with. |

Actually Norgeman Westinghouse did have indexing tubs before they were taken over by WCI. My mother had one that was an early seventies TOL model, or close to, and that had a white porcelain enameled indexing tub. |
