Brings back so many memories....
My aunt had one of these in her kitchen. She used to let me play with it when I went to visit.
On her counter, she also had one of those neat record players that only played 45's....and one of my favorite records was......
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.......
The vinyl it was pressed on was actually yellow.

As Dr. Manny brought the Thor, he took the Blackstone down to his shop for surgery. I hope to get it back in a few months.
Attn Bethann....Dr. Manny says I have full visitation rights while the Blackstone is in the shop and it will be fully sedated.

Ross, the pictures are great. Thanks. The Thor is a fine machine and I hope it will give you years of pleasure. Now if we could find the dishwasher tub for it!!!
You're sure lucky to have Dr. Manny. I can't wait to meet him. Looking forward to seeing you and the Thor in person soon.

But which one is the Holy Ghost?
Congrats Ross!
Yet another reason to fly back to Tucson. (*hands on hips*) Between all the nice Arizon-ians I have met, and your fabulous collections, I may have to relocate there!
What a perfect dream-machine glad you found it, have it and repaired it. Enjoy it! Can't wait to see it.
For all of you, my unsolicited advice, NEVER miss a Tucson, AZ triple-play wash-in! The holy trinity make it fabulous!

Wow Ross it’s just beautiful! Congratulations. Great pictures by the way and I love the fact that you can see the water spinning out of the holes near the top of the wash tub.

Ross, Congratulations on acquiring one of your dream machines. I have not seen one work since I four and a half years old.
A friend who grew up in New York told me that his mother got a THOR and had it in the kitchen. His grandmother saw it and went out and bought a folding screen to hide it so that it would not look like his mother was taking in laundry.
Best wishes for decades of fun with this latest treasure and all of your machines.

I believe when RCA released the '45', they origionally were going to put records on colored vinyl so you could ID what catagory they were, much like the color coded record labels of the day. TYhat died off fast.
(always liked the red ones for whatever reason)
Actually, I think the first year or so weren't vinyl, but something else.
Ledgend has it that the big hole was strictly to make it not compatible with existing stuff. Until someone invented the adaptor
(has boxes of the metal ones)

Congrats on the Thor. Love that inlet spout!
Off topic... Part of [David] Sarnoff's business stratergy at RCA was to create proprietary systems, shove them down the everyones throat as the defacto standard, and subsequently license them back to all of the other manufacturers.
