Very cool and appropriate!
I'm going to have to make a haj to your country sometime soon, despite the purported high prices for tourists. For some reason, Norway has become the home of some of the coolest, newest record-breaking bridges of the new century. Check out this one, I think it's called the Hardanger Bridge. It's reported as longer than the Golden Gate bridge and if you could put an architectural wonder like this thing in a better, more dramatic local, I'd like to see it. |

Erling I am speechless almost. For a 50 year old washer, it's in amazing condition. Sounds very good too for its age. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE VERY VERY CAREFUL WITH THAT FILTER PAN. It's very fragile after all these years. I'd love to hear the story of the history of this washer's owners. We had the 1964 version of this washer with the black bakelite agitator and 15 pound capacity. It was very similar in design in many ways. The VHQ is what repaired all the design flaws and weaknesses of our washer. I prefer the programmed cycles on this one compared to ours. I saw videos 1, 3, and 4 on YouTube, but didn't find #2. Bob |

Wow! Very cool washer! Looks very much like the '66 Norge I lost in the Valley Fire here in California (my avatar is all that's left of that machine -- my favorite). Where is the agitator for your machine? Looks like a nice find. Please keep us posted. And thank you for the photos of Norway - I'm only two hours from the Golden Gate Bridge.

Neighbors who lived behind me growing up had either this model or one very close to it. First time I had ever seen the left side oriented cycle dial. |
