I had no idea that Philco Automagic Washers were made in Australia in the early/mid 1960s. The machines shown are very similar to the 1963 line of Philco automatic washers. I just ran across these brochures! Apparently the Healing/Thor company somehow must have partnered up with Philco to produce these machines!
Have any of you guys Down Under ever found one of these super cool automatics? | ||

Wow I don't remember that thread but it was from nearly 15 years ago now. Very cool, I can see what you mean Leon by too much work with the agitator boot needing to be replaced and nothing having one.
The similarities with the Philco Automagic washers and the Healing Thor Goddess washers for the time were the same yet miles apart. I'm curious about the difference you are talking about Simpsomatic? The only major difference I see is the Australian machines came with a water heater for cold water intake only. Otherwise they look identical to me besides the obvious control panel styling differences. | ||
