How Do You DO It?

Robert:

I have visions of you walking down the streets of funky old neighbourhoods playing a little silver flute- and the rarest and most desirable of old appliances just jump out of basements and start following you!

Congrats.
 
Contraption on Tub Front Wall

Isn't that the patented Apex "Clave-o-matic" ?

Used to sterilze the instruments required for the
very delicate procedure known as the frontaloadot(o)my!!
 
How fabulous is that?

~Does that cool Red Triangle light during operation?
But the real question is, can you somehow make it pink?

Oh Samantha, I'm so proud of you! Your powers are getting stronger. Look what you've conjured up now! I just KNOW Darrin won't object.

Do I smell a convention brewing near Canada?

CONGRATS!
 
Hey Robert - dig the new Apex! Appears to be some sort of light down there - or maybe a fog machine ;-)

Thanks for the tip on YOU CRATE - this could be a great shipping alternate for the hobby!

Yup Mike got it first, its a fabulous glass light fixture. How cool is that, I wont have to go and rig up and interior light in this machine like I have in others. Don't you just love the fact that they took up valuable dish space for an light to light the machine up from the inside during all the crazy water splashment lol, that's so me!

No the cool red traiangle doesn't light up, but the would be a fun feature if it did.

So this is about the fourth or so Dish-a-Matic we've seen, so a Wash-a-Matic has to be out there somewhere??????
 
How cool is that, it already has the light inside. Did you know this before you bought it. Looks to be in great shape!!
 
has the light inside. Did you know this before you bought it.

Hi Terry, nope I had no idea, it was a total surprise. Although I'm trying to remember exactly where but I think I remember reading somewhere about an Dish-a-Matic with an interior light.
 
Very Nice Robert!
It is in amazing shape! So clean! It does look different from your other Apex, but I can't tell the differences on the cabinet. I could not find your pictures that you have of your other Apex.
Love the light! Do you know if the light stays on while running? That would have been a big selling feature for me back then!
Are you going to put wheels on it so it can be your 4th dishwasher in your kitchen? I think you should!
Thanks for the pictures!

Congratulations!!

Wow! That is an amazing find - I know you're going to enjoy it! What year would this model have been made? Is is still in working condition or will it need a recon like your other Apex??
All the best with your new treasure!!
 
Robert, Congratulations. This is older than your other Dish-A-Matic, right, the one with vinyl racks? Does it have one or two rinses? Are those iron stains or rust?

Dish-A-Matic, a machine that does all of your dishing for you. That would take a lot of joy out of life for many of us. I'll stick to doing my own. A tongue is the only instrument that gets sharper with use.

Where is the snow? I know Minneaplois has snow now, but I heard the Weather Channel say last week, I think, that Minneapolis was having rain. Isn't that pretty rare in the Winter?
 
Love the light! Do you know if the light stays on while running?
Hi Brent, I know right! The light is totally cool, who cares that it takes up space for large dishes, lol, I love that. Apex sounds like they had some fun engineers. From the timer cams it appears that the light is meant to run when the dishwasher is on.

Here is the link to pictures my other original standard model Apex.

What year would this model have been made? Is is still in working condition or will it need a recon like your other Apex??
Hey Paul, like most machines of this age its going to need to be taken apart and given a going over to make it work like its new again. Its from 1948 or 1949.

This is older than your other Dish-A-Matic, right, the one with vinyl racks? Does it have one or two rinses? Are those iron stains or rust?
Hi Tom, this is the same age as my other Dish-a-Matic, its just the top of the line version. It has the same cycle, one wash, one rinse. Those are iron stains that I can get out pretty easily.

Where is the snow? I know Minneaplois has snow now, but I heard the Weather Channel say last week, I think, that Minneapolis was having rain. Isn't that pretty rare in the Winter?
We have about 6" of snow cover now, we've had snow cover since December 1st which is normal. They talked of possibily getting warm enough one day last week for rain, but that is very rare in January. This is the first winter in 4 winters that we are actually having an average winter and not an above normal temperature winter, and a big yay for that finally.
 
Robert,
You MUST be excited about the TOL model since when you took the picture of the BOL Apex, you peed on the floor.(Refrence the photo link) I shudder to think what you did in front of the Glass top model!
