It's funny, this ad resembles the Easy Automatic T/L ad that runs every so often, except the woman has no hat/feather. Maybe the same ad agency or something. Even the typeface used was used on other ads.
It says it saves water. How, if it's bouncing part of it out?

I like the four multicolor lights (or are they buttons) above the timer

I hope we find one of these beauties at the sales during the Convention!
I notice that by now there was a "centerpost" in the bouncing basket; wasn't this just a "raised, scalloped hump" before?

Austin that is the raised hump.

Pardon my naive, bad self but is this basically an agitub? Am I correct in assuming this is not the famous 'bouncing basket' design? I've never seen an Apex before. Nor have I seen such poetic swooning from you lot! Do we know from what year this beauty hails?
And if anyone's wondering, I'm still fuming that I am only 2-1/2 hours from Uni's and was unable to join the fun at the Northland wash-in due to having to record a harpist. (No, that's not code for anything; I actually recorded a harpist all day Saturday.)

Amazing Apex
Hmmm...I guess it looked more like a centerpost to me. Wow, so this particular Apex was a "Time-Line" machine like the Norge? Too FAB! Glad you kept the awesome control panel and the other parts. Do you have any more pictures of your machine, i.e. the interior or action shots? I'm dying to see what that looked like!
The good thing is, if one of us finds an Apex, it will most definitely be yours! Now to find one...
When I "discovered" eBay in 2000, I usually saw an Apex upright vacuum on there every week. Now I hardly ever see any Apex vacuums. If I had known how rare any Apex appliance was, I would have snapped up one of those vacuums.

Robert, I think of you everytime there's an Apex POD (the two). And my heart strings get a tug for you cuz I know how much you want one.

Oh Please, Get a load of 'er...
U'm you're looking at the dials and I saved the pump, balloon clutch, window and other important mechanism parts.
Oh and Speaking of getting rid of things Jon, where is your
Rubber Tub Bendix?
Sorry Austin, I don't have any other pictures of that machine. Wish I did!

Frigilux, this Apex WAS the bouncing basket design. David and Arthur I have no idea whether those were buttons or lights or both. No one I know has ever seen one of these '55 Model Apex machines.
Oops, did someone put a squeeze on a bendix and send it packing?
Lights. The thing did a great job of stirring up a lot of suds which were about all that was left after about 60 seconds of "bouncing". After most of the water had been tossed out the clothes just flopped around in the tub.It was fun to watch.

According to an Apex ad I have for that model machine, those were "magic cycle-guide lights."

more Apex
The Apex instruction book says it is designed so that during the wash period some water will flush out of the basket - carrying with it suspended particle of dirt and lint. So it was "supposed" to do that. I guess like WCI top loaders are "designed" to index during agitation! Ha! This scan of the Apex manual gives a run down of its cycle sequence.
