Apex, Warm/Hot Valve

[steamron]

I have an Apex.
It works great even though it's a little old compared to the new 570.
The Warm/Hot Valve it leaking where the handle meets the cap. It was a little drip, but now it is dripping much worse.
I took off the front cover panel to expose the lower front of the machine and was able to get the manufacturer and model number of the valve.h
They have a repair kit for around $180.
Has anyone repaired one of these before?
Let me know,
Thanks

It's repaired,
It took a lot to take it apart, had to order a repair kit to get 4 pieces I needed $120.
I'm amazed about how much profit these corporations try to make off people like Us. I was able to find who the manufacturer was of that valve and contacted them since it was older they had the specs and could make it a three to four day time frame $459.00
I contacted Jon Don and Interlink, $900.00
