I've seen a lot of ads for Norge VHQ (Very High Quality) washers, but I've never seen one in real life. Has anyone ever used a VHQ? Does it have the burpalator filter or the Westy-style strainer? | ||

I think you might be able to make out the black agitator cap and of course the recirculating filter. The recirc. filter was gone around 1969 and the panels were slanted back and BIG. I found a '67-68 Wards with recirc. filter and a 69-70 "Her Majesty" that already had the burp-up white agitator. Norge did have panels similar to this without the offset timer knob/display in the early 70's, I remember a beautiful one in about 1973 with the same tall & flat-front lines. Here are the Wards Signature machines I found last year. Other than the woodgrain stripe, the POD panel is white on white - a premonition of days to come? CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK | ||

Cool Signature machines Greg! Lots of water drama and a HUGE tub! I always wondered what happened to these...have you hooked the Avocado set up yet? Also, when did Norge begin putting recirculating filters on their machines? --Austin | ||

I believe the Norge/Signature filter came along sometime in 64 or so, with the advent of the perforated tub. I don't have any of these machines anymore, the washers were really too far gone - both spewing oil into the wash water and the Her Majesty had a serious motor/rusty baseplate issue so I junked them all. Those Norge dryers were notorious lint belchers (forced air blowing through the machine rather than pulled through like a vacuum) and even though they were huge, they were rather slow. John Lefever told me once that you always know when someone has a Norge dryer in the basement because everything in the room is flocked like a x-mas tree!
