It's so much fun to get a "Coveted" machine!!!
Spectacular!!, and amazing that you only had to spend
two days to put it in working condition.
It really has some "turnover" , even without water.
I love the Blue Skirt. Is that original?
Congratulations Robert!!! Yay for the Apex!!

Congratulations from the Southern Cone!
Robert, I am so glad for you! What's your guess about your pulse rate when you finally saw the Apex in the driveway? Great story! Did the towels get a good cleaning? Were they fluffy?

Congratulations Robert!
This is a real find! How much would you say the machine weighs? Did you have any trouble loading it onto your truck?

What a fabulous day it must have been for you!!!
While I wasn't able to stay up last night to see, I did get up extra early this morning to celebrate your discovery.
It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Thirteen years is a long time to wait! For all the good you have done with this website and your diverse interest in machines, it's easy to see that you deserved to find the Apex a long time ago!
WHAT A FASCINATING WASHER!

Sincere congratulations on a rare and unique beauty!! I can't believe that after 56 years it still works!!
Did you say it has no outer tub? Where does the bounced-out water go?
Into the outer cabinet and down the drain, the square cabinet is the also the outer tub.
When the water comes out of the tub, does it pump out during the wash cycle or stay in an outer tub until the spin starts?
Pumps down the drain
Is it sort of like a Frigidaire transmission wise?
Its much simpler actually, more like a Kelvinator or Philco
What on earth are the two water flumes for? DOn't tell me hot fill and cold fill! And the two together make warm!
The one on the left is for adding water to the wash basket, the other one is to bleed off the water in the water balloon clutch at the end of spin. It puts that water into the outer tub and down the drain.
Spin Speed is 610rpm
