OH MY GAWD!!! I just looked at the picture again. You know that kid holding the dog has to be the same one who grew up to pose for Sears men's underwear in '76 with his thingy hanging out the leg of his boxers! |

Every time a new catalog from Sears, Monkey Wards and others came in the mail, I went straight to the appliances, and then to the boy's and men's underwear. |

Rinso, yes I totally agree about the smaller load settings simply sloshing back & forth. I just simply raised our infinite water level up a bit. The true roll over didn't happen until it was on the 3/4 high level setting. And also, how can we not forget the initial agitation period where the tub rotated until it clunked into the locked position from then on in agitation.

Interesting Bob, I didn't know Norges did that. They have that and the spin brake in common with GE. |

That oldest kid, next to the washer, he looks familiar too. Other than this ad, I've never seen a norge with a filter stream that went into an agitator mounted pan (ala GE FF). All the norges of this era I ever saw had the little tray mounted at the back of the tub with the water stream pouring down into that tray. |

Here are some photos of the Signature and Her Majesty washers/dryers I've had. They are beautiful machines, but both washers had bad seals that leaked oil into the washbasket. Fairly common failure with Norge designs I've heard, it may take 15 or 20 years but someday you could open the lid to find a washload full of oil - I've seen machines with this affliction and it's not pretty!

Sears stopped mailing that catalog and removed the page before resuming distribution. |

Scandalous! Shocking! Even more indecent than an Ambercrombie and Fitch ad! LOL. |

In about 1990 or 91, the Phoenix, AZ newspaper had a men's underwear ad on one page and on the facing page was a big swirl of script printing. If you held the page up to the light, it looked like the underwear model had a giant sausage exploding from his shorts. It was the talk of the town for a day!
