Love the POD. Was the agitator and tub one piece? or were they separate? Does anyone have a pic of an Apex? | ||

Was the bouncing mechanism similar to Frigidaire's up and down mechanism? | ||

I "THINK" from what I can see it moves like a calypso only the whole tub does it at 650rpm. I also think it does go up and down as well. | ||

Apex made automatics from 1948 thru 1956 or 1957 when they went out of business. The tub bounced and shaked at about 650 bounces per minute. The tub was one solid piece of fiberglass with a hump in the center to help balance the load. There was no agitator what so ever in the machine, all the cleaning was done by the bouncing tub. | ||

Fiberglass Fiberglass tub? That's interesting, I guess that helped with the weight, and made the tub lighter and easier on the mechanism to bounce. | ||
