Too bad the washer's not there, but if my experience with the A806 is any indication, you never know! My opportunity to torment Ralph with another MW item is superseded by the 'Tags, but someone should get this lovely--there are not a ton of Montgomery Ward's TOL models out there.

We have one in the warehouse. It has auto dry that used a two stage burner to give something like Kenmore's Soft Heat. Her Majesty was to ape Lady Kenmore. This one is electric. | ||

Her Majesty Electric Dryer This is one of the original style Norge dryers that were built like a tank, these are very efficient good performing dryers [ only real downside is they tend to leak air at every seam and seal ] so be per paired for a little heat, humidity and LINT in your laundry area, LOL. These make a great outdoor dryer for the porch.
I wounder if this dryer is really yellow or avocado? | ||

Bob's right. Our dreadful Signature 18 washer that permanently scarred the tile floor was a '67 and it had the super cheap looking slanted console and the white agitator Norge continued to use for what, 25 or 30 more years?
The Norge consoles just before that time were much nicer looking, as demonstrated by Her Majesty above. | ||

Her Majesty Electric Dryer Norges Velvet Heat worked very much like KMS Soft Heat on the electric dryers, it had two heaters and when a good minimum exhaust temperature of around 130F was reached it just used one heater to finish drying the load. The really unique system was on the Gas KMs where the burner used a variable input to precisely match burner flame size to exhaust temperature [ much like gas ovens did before about 1960 ]. On the gas Velvet Heat dryers they just used a two level gas valve, which I am sure still worked very well.
Many higher end electric dryers today are using dual heaters that are used in similar ways to reduce power consumption slightly and provide a more gentile heat source. | ||

Did the Norges, et al, that came with a recirc lint filter have the same ag as the burp-a-lator? | ||

Corrected per the reply below this one It was a burpless version of the white polypropylene agitator as I recall. This post was last edited 04/03/2013 at 14:51 | ||

Different ag
See Robert's thread/pic I referenced. It's like a monster version, three-vaned, of the drag-o-matic agitators used in the earlier sixties--thick, thick vanes with reinforcements across the top of each vane. The Darth Vader of agitators. I've also seen MW machines with black Bakelite ones that had sculpted/spiraled vanes. This preceded the familiar four-vaned, broad-based polyproylene ones we know and love as the later burpalator line.
Lint filtering was done via a recirculating flume at the back-middle of the basket at 12 o'clock, with a filter basket that would hang there. No burpalation. | ||
