Austin, that really doesn't look like a Norge Signature in its true form. Looks more like a Tragic Chef/Maytag breed. Chuck, I remember that Norge slogan and commercial. I do not remember if it was in use while we still had our 1964 Norge, or right after it bit the dust in 1970-71. but I do remember thinking, yeah right!!! If ya hit it too hard, it's gonna fall apart. | ||

Austin, I'm terribly sorry to sink your battleship so-to-speak, but this is a Magic Chef machine. We have a Magic Chef at the Hospital I work at. I actually had to use it last week to wash my Pharmacy jackets and inspected it. The hospital machine and your machine share the same bleach dispenser, knobs, agitator and basket. The hospitals machine has a porcelain on steel wash basket, not plastic. Same pattern and everything. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but yours is most likely a "Tragic Chef" design. :( | ||

norge
Guys,just to be clear.Magic Chef NEVER made a washing machine.It was and always will be a Norge.Both were bought by Fedders in the 70's then Fedders was bought by Maytag in the 80's.The only appliance Magic Chef ever made was a line of gas ranges.All other appliances with their lable on them were subsidised.The electric ranges were Hardwick,the dishwashers were DM,the refrigerators were Admiral,the 24 inch wide compact front loading washers and dryers were made first by Philco of Italy then later on by Zanussi.

Magic Chef My friend had one of these branded as Magic Chef. I remember seeing how huge the tub was. Of course, rust ate through it and the trans died. Otherwise was an ok machine to watch. | ||

signature/norge
Maybe back in the 60's and early 70's it was but remember,White Westinghouse was also making almost half of the Signature washers and dryers including their stackables and 24 inch top loading stacks by the mid 70's untill they folded.Frigidaire and Admiral made their refrigerators,their dishwashers and disposers from the late 60's to the late 70's were made by Frigidaire,and their gas and electric ranges were made by Tappan.I remember when I lived in Baltimore there was a huge MW on Monroe Street on the west side and the huge lighted sign at night would flash using all the letters in the name---"Go Ward---Montgomery Ward".
