Now There's Something You Don't See Everyday.
Robert you mentioned the drive motor and possibly the pump are missing. I know this varies with every machine, and I don't know much about the Apex mechanism, but how specific of a motor would be required? Is it some sort of deal where the motor has to be right up in there or could you match pulleys and RPMs and give it a shot? Also Robert, when you found your Apex did it come with the factory "Seal of Approval" sticker?? :) I couldn't imagine finding an Apex w/o |

That $279.95 is just short of $3000 in 2018 dollars. |

>> All those missing parts would explain why the thing has sat sitting shoved into a corner of a warehouse all these years.
It could have been the opposite case too. Perhaps the machine was only ever intended to be a non-operating display, so a few parts were removed and sold over the years to keep other machines (customer machines?) in service... If it was a display, nobody would have ever noticed that the motor and pump were missing... |
