Yes.. yes... I know, I know...
This one is too NEW and it doesn't belong here! Maybe so, but the next item up after it for "show 'n tell" will make up for it I think.... The woman did not like this Frigidaire Affinity washer for silly reasons... like not being able to "throw something else in after the machine was started"... so they just bought a new TL. I ONLY paid $75 for this 2 1/2 year old washer and it does work PERFECTLY!! (I've already done 2 loads in it)

Is this type of bulb still available today?? 
Love that Norge Dryer!! You may not be able to find a replacement bulb in your local hardware store, but try an electrical-components supply house and you should do fine. I found some obscure bulbs at a place called McMaster-Carr. I can't remember the exact web address, but you should be able to find 'em easily enough.

Norge.
Super finds, especially the A806 and the Norge dryer. Norge used a positive pressure design (the air was blown into the drum instead of sucked out). This means that lint will get EVERYWHERE. Open up the dryer and clean it out "real good." The Monkey Norge dryer I grew wup with could build up several inches inside easily (and flock the laundry room too!) Nice collection Dave | ||

Wash-in at Kevins! Great machines, the appliance gods are on your side that's for sure! I thought with the Frigidaire front loader you could pause the wash and add to the load, I can with mine. | ||

Kevin,
With that name, I doubt the psycho-wards would accept you Nomen est omen and there's a reason they called them Kevin alone at Home, in NYC, etc Congratulations on your finds. I like Maytags, never saw a Norge in my life, scarce out here That bayonet style lamp (they are used instead of Edison base in the UK at 240V for normal lighting) is used in many US appliances, at 125V. You should be able to find one at any better stocked appliance dealer or a good vacuum repair shop/sewing machine shop - they are/were used in some Kirbys and Kenmores, for instance. I had a terrarium with exactly that light in the late 1960's, so you might try a pet supply store, too The advantages of the bayonet base are numerous. You don't get a shock from the brass base, they resist vibration (spring loaded contacts and you have to twist and turn to remove) and it is even possible to polarize them if you want more than one filament. Wish they were more popular, apart from cars. | ||

Congrats, Kevin. You got a great deal on that Affinity. "Can't add an item after its started." The fact that she didn't know how to push the pause button and open the door makes for a sweet deal for you The Norge is a 1963 I believe. My aunt had a matching set almost exactly like that. Must have been one model down from yours...the heat selector was to the right of the control knob, not above it. And it did not have a drop down door. It was a smalled side-swing door with a round push button to open it. The washer was a solid tub with burp-up lint filter and two small knobs next to the cycle control knob...water temp and speed. The control had regular and short cycles. It was time-fill with a 1/2 fill mark on the dial Nice Maytag. Had a matched set like that for a number of years. Mine had blue trim on panel, otherwise identical. | ||

Light bulb I was in Lowe's hardware store today and saw the bulb you need in the "Specialty Drawers". Might be worth checking out if you have one nearby. | ||

Well, Kevin, you have snagged yourself some more great classics. The Maytag, in particular, is gorgeous. Gotta love a lighted interior Can't believe you got that Affinity for a mere pittance! If it's anything like the Electrolux-based Frigidaires I've had, you'll get many years use from it Congratulations on the new additions to your mushrooming collection! | ||

How the hell did the title of this thread change???
Thank you all for your wonderful comments and suggestions on the light bulb, I will have to search around a little to see what I can find > I really don't know how this happened, but somehow the title of this thread changed on the link page, but it's still the same on the header above. This is very strange > On the Frigidaire Affinity, yes you can push the "start/pause" button to pause it and unlock the door, BUT if it's in, or just out of a drain or spin, it takes more then a minute for the door to unlock. So I guess this was just too much of an inconvenience, that AND having to leave the door open when not in use... BOTH of those "issues" were enough for her to get rid of it. ALSO, she listed in the ad she paid $650 for it when she bought it 2 1/2 years ago. Go figure (but lucky me)!! A little side note here, while I have not tried it... I am pretty sure this washer has a built in heater > Back to Dan's comment "Good God, you sure know how to find them!!"... yeah I guess... BUT the PROBLEM is... I am NOT really searching for anything specific!!! (that and I want every older washer I see!!!). LOL....LOL > Thank you Ben for the build date info on my "new" 806! I really love that I have an older Maytag! It brings back memories of the A700 when growing up, so I think this one will definitely be a "keeper" | ||

I really don't know how this happened, but somehow the title of this thread changed on the link page, but it's still the same on the header above. This is very strange! The thread count got off somehow on this thread so I fixed it, but I must have screwed something else up during my "fixing" process. What I did I have no idea lol. Oh well, it should be fixed now.

Hey Rich
I am coming out to help you do an intervention on RevvinKevin. He needs help, he also needs to sell me that Affinity too! Nice haul Kevin, its so nice to see someone else go through the "released the washer-spring finally" phase and bound out of the house everyday on the appliacneprowl! Gyro is right your collection can never be too complete, ask John Lefever!! | ||

I found the light bulb!
Thanks for the suggestions Russell! I looked up Coast Appliance Parts on line and found a location closer to me. I stopped by there after work today to buy a couple things I need and asked about the bulb when there. But they didn't have it. There also happened to be a service guy picking up parts and I asked him if he had any suggestion for where to go next. He told me "Let me look on my truck, but I'm not sure I have one" and he walked out the door. Within 5 minute he returned and said "This must have been on my truck as long as I have been working for the company, the last 20 years!" From the looks of the package I would have to agree! "Wow, that is exactly what I need!". He then hands me the box and said "It's yours, I'll never use it." How cool is that?!?!
