Running Mike's 1946 Thor Automagic in wash mode

Running the Thor Automagic semi-automatic washer/dishwasher combination, this time as a washer with the dishwasher basket removed and the balance ring, solid wash basket, and agitator installed. Taken at the Peoria Wash Party in early July 2011.

my mother had a thor in the early 50's ( in UK) she sat me on top to stop it
rocking during spin! I was 3 years old. great posting thanks.

I would like to see the Thor Automagic Washer return to the open market. Many people would like to see her return. I even have her on my list of top ten devices that need to return!

No! I mean yes! No way! How!?! How did you get her working!?!

[@oooowwwwdddd]

I had one of these in 1934 but then grandma threw her bloomers in it and the agitator blew up.

So, it's a dual-purpose washing machine/dishwasher? Cool!

Frigidaire made a washer with a window in the lid. Could you tell me what year it was made and something about it? I remember seeing one in my friends mom basement, when I was in Junior
High.

1960 to 1975

pity you couldn't get a bunch of clothes destined for a homeless shelter that need washing for these wash-ins.
