The THOR lives again on this Easter weekend. YAY!!

Cutlery holder

Rich, I have literally wrung out my brain trying to remember anything else about the cutlery holder. If I'm not mistaken, the cutlery holder was round, had a hole in the center, and was the "last" piece of the rack set that was mounted "on top" of the center post of the whole unit, and it could hold many pieces of cutlery. I'm sorry, there's no one left in my family who I could ask anything about it. In those times there were two live-in maids at my house, Lina and Andrea, who were actually sisters (please, remember this is South America and this happened more than 50 years ago!) and they would hand wash everyday's dishes. The dishwasher was used on Sundays (no maids on Sundays!) or when they were on vacation. Loading the dishes was a feast for me, I must have been 8 or 9 at the time!

Imagine the energy stars the Thor would get ~

Fills in CUPS rather than gallons!

 

No heat, double-fan dry!

 

Expect the Energy Feds at your door, clamoring to build a shrine to the Almighty Thor.

 

Thank you, Gentlemen, for a classy video.

YAY...It's Friday.

I have had a killer work week. Hopefully I can have some play-time now

Sorry that I haven't addressed everyone but I will try!

Thanks again for the kind words of encouragement and glad that you all enjoyed the video. I am having lots of fun with this Thor. As many of you know it was my "must have" machine. I still can't believe that I got the machine, dishwasher attachment and all of the paperwork/instructions in the span of just a month! The Thor gods must have been smiling down. Great big thank-you's to everyone that helped make it all come together. Send good thoughts, now, to Ron for the success in getting his running.

It realy is a remarkable machine in its simplicity. The dishwasher shouldn't be nearly as noisy as it was. I have been doing some up/down adjustments to the washer arm and now it's quiet. The noise that you all heard was the washer arms scraping against the bottom pan. OYE...was it noisy!! I chose to take the glass cover off and put the proper cover on for the final rinse as it seems that the shape of the cover works better at rinsing than the flat glass did AND I didn't want to chance breaking my glass table top with the near boiling water

Chestermikeuk asks..."How do you know when the water is at the right level?? is it trial & error until a good splashing motion is achieved??"...... This is achieved by sound. It states in the instructions "With experience, you will be able to determine when the best water action has been reached by the sound in the machine" and..."Note: A medium spray must be used for best results on delicate glass-ware. Measure and pour one quart of water into the cover inlet hole for each operation. This will produce a finer spray..." I guess that was your gentle cycle

I guess if ya all want to see it in real action you'll have to join us for the next wash-in!!! We would love to meet all of you and these toys are no fun unless we can share them

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Rich
