the tub
the basket sits on a round disc about the size fo the bottom of the basket jerry can feel the disc by sliding his arm down around the basket, there are studs under the agi but no way to turn the via a screw driver.. i had found a owners book from a few years newer thor (a totally automatic machine) and it that book it said to turn the basket a 1/4 turn and lift out but this one wont do that either. there has to be a way to get the basket out? seem that when you wanted to use the dishwasher the basket would have to come out right? any one have any info? does anyone remember having one of these while growing up? jerry needs your help cause both of us are way out of ideas.. thanks lots and lots chris

Thor
Nice find you guys... It looks like Keiths (keymatic) UK machine, if so unscrew the agi nut, pull up the agi and then lift the basket, the balancer ring then lifts out.... Do you have the dishwasher basket?? I`ve included a link to Keiths video, you can see the parts and machine in action.... Cheers, Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK | ||

Got back from vacation Sunday. What a welcome home to see a Thor alive and working--fantastic. Thank you so much. Once in the library looking at the first Consumer reports washer articles, I saw the Thor and fell in love. What I most remember was that it was rated first in washing ability. And after watching your fabulous video five times and that insane agitator, I can see why it cleaned so well. You could do a great overflow rinse with the fill spiggot. What's really wild is the wide gap between the washtub and the cabnet allowing such an amazing view of the water hurling up and out and all around the town! What a treat. A dream come true, from across the Atlantic. Thank you all so much. BuffaloMike | ||

Mighty Thor
Hi Mike Glad you enjoyed the video, as you say the workings are great to see... All credit goes to Keith in UK (keymatic) on our club, he has had a few machines and has stripped down a couple and made new ones...he also has the one with the foot pedals.. I think when he made the vid for us he got truely soaked from the spin water without the top on!!! Has anyone got the dishwasher basket?? Cheers, Mike | ||
