That was sure nice of your Dad to do. That's a nice bunch o' vacs.
Hans is right about the Consumer Report review date, though that Apex debuted in approximately late 1945 to early 1946. It was a very popular tank in the vacuum market. It had great tools and was generally very well made. If I can find my advertising brochure for it, I will scan it and put it up on this thread later today or early tomorrow. Congratulations. |

If I am remember correctly. The old Apex uprights were made here in Ohio. Cleveland I think. So wondering if any one knows for sure where this "new Tank" 47-on was built? Was it here in Ohio ?? Inquiring minds need to know ! Norm |

Luxes are in great shape. I have a model AF like the one pictured. It fell over one day and the latch that holds the front cover closed broke off. Anybody have any recommendation as to where I might find a replacement? I realize I will have to replace the whole section. Suggestions???????
P.S. Super that you have family support. They just don't look at you like you are nuts!! Great. |
