OK guys, there is a absolutely beautiful early Thor available.  I cannot tell for sure, but it almost looks like its never been used.

 

Since this machine is old, rare and in such great shape I am not going to publish the seller's email address in this thread as I do not want to cause an email storm on them and think they have a "gold mine" (which they don't).  So we are going to work this on first come first serve basis.  If you want this machine, send me an email via the aw.org email system.  The first person who emails me gets the email address.  That person must contact me every 24 hours and just let me know the status.  If for what ever reason it falls through then I will send the email address off to the next person on the list.

 

Someone definitely needs to save this absolutely beautiful machine!

Wow - beautiful washer! Love that it still has the Tide tag on the control knob. Minty fresh indeed!

SOLD!!!

Chuck and I went to look at the Thor today and were able to strike a deal. We will get pics as soon as we can. What a fun machine. Thank you Robert for posting this. It's been of my "must get" machines and I look forward finding the dishwasher parts in the future :-) If anyone has the dishwasher parts and would like to sell them...give me a shout!

Rich

Home safe and sound!

It took three guys to bring it up the stairs (Chuck and I tried last week and I herniated a disc in my back) and get it into the back of the SUV. This beast is one heavy mother!!! Gorgeous condition but a BEAST!

I have to find some replacement hoses for the pump and drain so it may be a few days-weeks before I fire it up. Chuck and I will post pics when it's all done. Our thanks go to Bobby DeRegis and Ron Ronzio who came to our rescue and gave up a whole Sunday to help us get this beast :-) THANK YOU, both!!!

Sending pics soon!!

Rich

I would love to see how the Dishwasher on one of these machines works. A video would be great but I'll take pics just to see how it works. Did it come with the dishwasher racks?

Hey Bobby, I tried C.A.P and they didn't have the hoses that I need :-( I don't know where I'll find them but...I'll keep looking!

Joe...I wold love to see the dishwasher work BUT this unit was only purchased as a washer. You could buy just the washer, dishwasher or the combo! I will find the dishwasher someday. I've seen a couple ;-)
