Hi Guys, I need help with this Aussie made Healing / Thor "Goddess", otherwise known as your Philco. These were made here in Australia under licence to Philco. The machine came from a farm and as you can see, has been neglected for some years!! Yes, its quite filthy inside, but i'm sure it can be restored to its full glory IF i can get certain parts for it. When i started dismantling the agitator to start cleaning, i noticed the agitator boot had totally disintegrated and the agiator disk needs replacing too. The tub diaphragm seems in ok condition. What i am hoping is that one of you might have a spare agitator boot and disk or know where i can get one? So far, none of my contacts here in Australia can help and these machines are very rare to find now. I won't give up looking for the parts here in Oz, but since some of you already have the equivalent machine working, I thought i would ask. Of course, I would be happy to pay for the parts and any freight involved. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Regards Leon |

Alas, not one single part interchanges. The parts listed for sale on the Mexican site appear to be the later style only....... |

Hey Jimmy, Ahhhh...thanks for that info...Yes, mine is the earlier version defintely! And i'm not in any hurry, i'm arranging for the machine to go into storage where it will stay until it can be fixed. If you are able to find any of the parts i need, I would be grateful. I will still look for any contacts here in Oz that may have them in the meantime, but so far no one here has kept any of these parts. I would defintely love to see this machine back to its original glory. Cheers Leon |
