Barn Fresh Apex 46
#10

No, I haven't posted anything about it on here, yet. There was another US Apex lowboy from the same year as my Dad's big console that sat on display at a local restaurant for years. Was in perfect condition until the day some elderly gentlemad lost his balance and plowed head-first into the grill. Grill was toast and the guy ended up going to the hospital. So, you could say that the only antique radios I was regularly exposed to as a child were US Apex models!
On to another note about my Apex 46: It has pot metal issues in the tuner. When you get to about 800 on the dial and below, it scraps like crazy. Grrrr potmetal! GRRR! GRRRR!

No matter where you go, there you are.
