That Apex is a very cool machine. I have one too, but in unrestored condition. The handle has a VERY cool feature -- see the little button down just by the handle bale? You push it down and it releases the long handle from the handle bale, so that, due to the angled shape of the "connector arm" that attaches the handle to the handle bail, when you are sweeping you can steer the machine left and right by turning the handle grip back and forth!
