Apex up for grabs..........anyone want?

[utjj99]

A lady I work with told me yesturday her late husband used to repair washers in the Columbus area for decades and that in her outbuilding she has maybe 18 old washers and dryers she wants gone. I went and looked and she stated he used to sell duomatics and other philco and westinhouse products but he would keep a few traded in machine that he thought were cool. Well most of the machines in the outbuilding are duomatics and a few other such front load machines which is awesome and which all I will keep. However, in the corner is an old Apex top loader which I really don't know much about and really don't want so I thought if someone here would like one I would give it to them or do a simple trade for a westinhouse or so forth. Its kinda hard to get to at the current moment so I can only give few clues of its identity. It is white and has no console on the back just two knobs on the front corners of the top and a round glass window in the lid. There is a chrome strip running around the center of it but I can't tell much from the middle down as it is behind alot of other things....the guy also collected lawnmowers it appears. I am going in two weeks to get all the machines so if someone wants the apex we can talk if not I have no need for it and it will either sit in my garage or go elsewhere.

So is it like the philco but the whole tub wobbles? <br
Can the agi tub be removed by lifting out or is it screwed down? <br

Robert, it is so great to see you so excited and happy about this great find. I know you have wanted an Apex for as long as I've known you. Seems like so many club members find some of their favorite machines but this time it's you, our fearless leader, that has hit the jackpot. I love the pics of that slightly older model with the cool back panel. Hope the machine gets to you soon and safely and that it needs little work <br

APEX follows THOR

Dude. SO exciting for you to find this machine. Thanks for sharing all the positive energy with us all. I feel the excitement too <br
2006 has been really rockin' so far, what with the Thor power surge and now the Apex <br
Holla from Hollywood! <br

[user 12105]

Congratulations to you Robert and to John for finding this extremely rare washer <br
So how many left in the most wanted section that has not been discovered yet? LOL

 

[lesto]

One more thing, don't let the excitement of the Apex divert your attention from finishing up the 47 GE. That is one of the coolest and most fascinating washers I have ever seen! Don't make me use a Kenmore spankalator on you! ; <br
Seriously Robert, I'm very happy and excited for you!

 

[JerseyMike]

Wow

I saw this last night and thought that I was dreaming <br
I know how badly you've wanted an Apex, Robert. Congrats. <br
I hope that it doesn't need too much work. <br
Can't wait to see a video of the infamous "bouncing basket" wash action. <br

While in Recovery........................................

Just to let you know that Robert will be unavailable as webmaster for an undisclosed amount of time as he is on cloud nine. The Minnesota/Applianceville residents will be filling in for him in while he is celebrating this fantastic find. I have set up a schedule that will divide up his duties and responsibilities fairly between all Minnesota residents. Something like,,,,"Queen for a Day!" Congratulations Robert!
