And wasn't the White-Westinghouse TL previously in the Automagic's space? Someone has a lot of 'splaining to do! ;-) *Ducks and runs* |

since I read about it in Consumer Reports 1947!!!! (Rated highest in washing ability) Good for you. So happy for you. Praise the Lord, etc. Where is the fill spout? Man-oh-man, check out that agitator. Can't wait to see it swish! Why does the metal look so new and well-preserved? What's the story? Please TELL IT! Wish Tuscon were right next door; I'd be over in a jiffy. |

No, unfortunately the tub doesn't come out of the Thor. It's cosmetically gorgeous, but has its own set of issues to work through. The machine agitates only slightly if you push hard on the plunger on the transmission that is tripped by the control cable, and even then, you can stop it with your hand easily, so there is internal transmission work to do, more than likely. Still, it is a fabulous machine, and I'm so happy for Ross. Mickey, the fill hose is present but not attached to the machine at the moment. Austin, the White-Westinghouse is visiting its friends over at Nate and Melissa's, thanks to Ross' kindness--the Faux 1-18 is being dismantled for spare Westy parts, and its pretty control panel will be saved for posterity. And I'll make a lamp out of that stupid straight-vane agitator (just kidding--but boy, I can't get enough of that ramped-agitator rollover!!) :-P --Nate |

I spoke to Dr. Manny and he will be picking up the machine after Memorial Day weekend and bring it to his shop. When he brings it back I am sure it will be in tip top shape. Can't wait. |

I'm glad to see someone else found their Dream-machine! I think good things come to good people! ( BTW, what's her name? ) I can't remember, do you have the dishwasher part? |

HI Ross....Congrats on your your New Thor Automagic. I have the UK equivalent of 1955..Mine is the same as yours except the control tower is nearer the top of the machine, instead of being right at the bottom. The problem i found with my machine is that friction clutch had gone, but was able to get hold of another one. They are great machines, and the exclusive sud saver device is useful, even though all it is, is a rubber stopper that goes in the end of the emptying hose.. Look forward to see the machine once it is all up an running. Keith - UK |

Hi Louis. Yes, I have a batch of Thor ads that I purchased on Ebay, framed, and hung on the wall overlooking my machines. I have other ads as well for Westinghouse, Easy spin dryer, Norge Time Line, etc. |

Yeah Ross! Can't wait to see her up and running! I can see you washing in the for hours! The church won't have a soiled garment in it! How fun! I'm curious---do you know agitation/spin speeds on that Thor? Anyway, congratulations! |
