Hi guys,
A short clip of a dry test of the Healing / Thor Trimatic. The motor and pump shafts just needed a bit of manual turning and all seems fine at the moment. Next will be a water test in the coming weeks. Cheers Leon CLICK HERE TO GO TO mayfan69's LINK |

I can't wait to see this washer do a load of laundry! I want to see how the clothes & water move with this kind of agitation! I think there's new HE machines that do this kind of agitation but of course, with minimal "HE" water. I want to see the tub with water, washing the way WASHING was meant to be done, WITH WATER!
Hm hm hm... ;o) |

Hello Leon.
You certainly have a incredible collection of rare and beautiful machines. Not to mention the gift to restore them like many of our members here. This Trimatic is just intriguing with it's mechanical marvels that make it "Tick". Glad this Gem has fallen into your hands. Good Luck to You and all your restorations. |

You and I have certainly gotten some rare finds in the last year or so that are in incredible condition. It sounds like this was quite a water user which is probably the reason that more weren't sold, reminds me of the Gas Okeef&Merritt Combo that I got a year ago that did not spin at all, went from wash to rinse, rinse rinse and directly into dry.
Hopefully I will get a chance to see all your goodies when we get to Australia in 2017.
