Just picked it up yesterday Picked it up yesterday, exterior was dirty, but inside was sparkling brighter than a diamond, you can tell this was taken care of. Another thing I noticed is that it has a unique texture on the sides, kind of like on a refrigerator. | ||

That had to be one of the last Norge built machines made. It is from the late 80’s to very early 90’s. It does look as if it was seldom used. Usually those machines rusted on the inside and even on the outside due to all of the splashing Norge wash action and the cheap paint job. But they did have a porcelain top and lid. Hope everything works well for you and I think you should create a new thread for this washer. Enjoy!

Last Of The Real Norges Wow Will that washer is is almost unused, hope you have lots of fun with it, I can hear it roaring along from here, LOL
Hi Dan, looking forward to seeing and working on your New Whirlpool Washer, the late 60s was a very good period for WP laundry appliances. WP was still improving the machines and the cost cutting of the 70s had not kicked in yet which really started to affect all US laundry appliances from WP, MT and everybody else.

Both of ya all got really, nice machines. I'm envious. Could we get an interior shot of the Whirlpool? That was an excellent washer as well, one of my favorites. I like the console on it also.
