Hi guys,
Well, I spend some time this weekend doing the water testing of the Healing Thor Trimatic. The water valves will need work and the pump will need new hose clamps, but considering its been sitting idle for at least 10 years, its working the way it should. Sorry if you can't see the clothes turning over as much and contrary to what I say in the video, there's NO hot rinse.....I thought there was, my bad! Lol Hope you enjoy! Cheers Leon |

Congratulations of finding this washing machine Leon, looks great, like the flexibility of the controls, and thats some force on the Fill Flume, if you hadnt seen the wobble washplate in action and with the lid down you would think from the sounds that it was a reciprocal agitation action - love the clicking back n forth of the timer?
Enjoy, Mike |

Fun Video, Thanks! What a smooth running machine! So cool how it just goes into spin with the wash plate still wobbling.

Would sure be nice to see a really close up picture of what the inside of the tub and wash plate looks like. In the video it is hard to see anything. |

Sorry, I stand corrected. I had forgotten about the previous post. Most unusual machine. There are things about it that remind me of an old Norge machine. Like the tub, pump and the way it looks underneath. |
