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! ; Seriously Robert, I'm very happy and excited for you! | ||

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!

Robert, I saw this post just 3 minutes after it had been posted. I couldn't believe it. But I wanted to wait until you saw it. At first, I was a bit sceptical because it also sounded kinda like an ABC-O-Matic and I didn't wanna get my hopes up. I have tears in my eyes because your dream has been realized. Bob

I couldn't agree more with what everyone has said. John I am so very greatful to you, I hope I can return the favor sometime. You are a hero in Applianceville Once the Apex comes to Minneapolis, it will get some TLC and be ready for some great new videos that will be posted front and center here at aw.org. Finally the entire world we be able to see what a Bouncing Basket Wash-a-Matic actually does! | ||

John rocks So are the transportation and arrival details classified? I think all the MN groupies and then some would want to be at Robert's when the baby arrives to celebrate! With lots of hugs and kleenex! But maybe Robert wants this huge event to be a private moment which is understandable, then share later. | ||

If the tub bounces at 610 BPM, do you think you will have the same trouble making a movie of the Apex operating as you do the Pulsamatic, i.e., the tub bouncing too quickly to be adequately captured on video?I'm not sure Peter, but I will to play with the video controls to get some accurate videos. I might have to have larger files for the DSL/Cable crowd.

Update on the Apex Wash-a-Matic
I just wanted to give everyone an update on the Apex. I spoke to John tonight and he is doing well after his surgery and he is now recuperating at home. He and some friends are coming to Minneapolis over Labor Day weekend and will be driving the Apex out then. I'm looking forward to meeting John and seeing my dream machine come true after all these years. Pictures to come as soon as the machine arrives here.
