That part is worth $150.00 with all the trimmings. If u can get it for less, it's a steal!

I already contacted the seller and made an offer, but he passed on it. Waiting to hear back about a possible counter offer.

PS: Since I still don't have my Thor up and running yet, I'm not going crazy on the price.

Oh Ron, that needs your name on it, good luck with the offer, we found one a few months ago, needs a full restore , had the dishwasher attachment but no cover, a piece of thick clear vinyal did the trick!!

Thanks, Mike. Hopefully, I can strike a deal with the seller. But I'm getting the feeling he thinks he has gold.

Will keep everyone posted on this.

Ron

Well, the seller replied back. Here's his response:

"the value of parts that are no longer made are priceless to someone
that has a running Thor in their original redone circa 1950s house.
even if you went to a machine shop and asked them to make you a part
from scratch, it would be nearly impossible to make the basket and the
agitator unless you made a sand cast with an original and then went
and poured metal from a foundry in that. NOS parts dont compare to
machined in 2012 parts.
I know from experience.
the emails keep coming in as far away as Cali. I'll let you know who
gets it and for how much...."

Something tells me he's gotten a few e-mails from people that have basically told him it's worth a lot more than it is and he's expecting the moon.

Guess I won't be getting the dishwasher attachment for my Thor this time!

Ron

Don't give up yet, Ron. I have a little something up my sleeve....

I had a feeling when the ad read "make offer" that the seller had a fairly good idea of what he had.  That's why I was thinking it might be someone from here.

 

Maybe he'll come down to earth.  I'll never understand why people with more knowledge than a seller would offer up information that sends the price through the roof.  Talk about shooting yourself in the foot and ruining it for everyone else.
