Any comments on this 80's generation Speed Queen? I might be able to get my hands on one cheap, and in very good shape. It has the SS tub. Bobby in Boston |

Greg: The Norge isn't that loud. What makes the Marathon louder than a modern SQ? Just noise insulation or a different design? Bobby in Boston |

Oy! I don't need another machine on the operating table right now. Do I just look for pee spots on the base and tub supports? Bobby in Boston |

If its open, check for water marks on the cabinet and water damage/arcing on the motor. If you can run it through a cycle with the front off, you'll see very quickly if it's leaking. |

The Norge is not as quiet as a Maytag...because it actually washes the clothes!!!! the Norge agitates about as fast on low speed as the Maytag does on hi. |

Hmmmm: I don't think the Norge is has many more OPM's than the later helical drive Tags. The arc is about the same too. IMO they are both excellent at washing. Bobby in Boston |
