Attex 750

Was this machine ever produced??
Thanks

As far as I can tell; none were ever manufactured. Howard Gerber designed the RIM when he worked for Recreatives and they got rather upset when he wanted to produce the 750 under the Attex name. The story I heard most was that the picture in the brochure was a RIM body painted yellow with Attex decals on it. One of the Gerbers may be able to give a more accurate response.

If I remember right, Howard told me at some point that there wasn't even a "prototype" 750 produced, it was all just an illustration of the RIM with the colors changed. This was before the RIM became the Max IV. That being said, I cant say that I haven't been tempted to paint one of my RIM bodies yellow and Attex 750 badge it... The Attex 1000 was also in the brochure with the 750. The 1000 (Bigfoot) had a limited run but I don't think more than four were ever completed. I remember seeing pictures of Howard/Dad/Jim with the prototype pulling logs through the swamp in my backyard.

I'll ask Howard when I see him tonight. If I'm wrong, I'll come back and correct myself.

Matt had yellow plastic at one point. I almost asked him to make me a new yellow IV upper. It's a shame the opportunity seems to have passed.
