Thats the way bro 😎👍 Old stuff rocks, basic, easy maintainance, no climate change bullshits

Audio still keeps cuttting out

Hell yeah man!

Great haul, that Fedders is immaculate! I'll take those Marvin window fans if they need a new home, I use those all the time, they're the best thing I can fit into my tiny windows. The audio is kind of messed up, it clipped at certain critical points including the capacity of the unit and the compressor startup..

Both them units are fucking MINT! That Westinghouse Tag tho!

That is one awesome haul!! I see that your 6000 BTU Fedders has front and back free play just like mine did. Make sure you WD40 the allen nuts on the squirrel cage and condenser fan so they can come out because the ones on mine didn't wanna come out. Also your phone did had this problem again in this video. The audio cuts out in spots in this video

Got a question, recently acquired a place that has a 1952-55 International Harvester, can’t find anything online about it, it’s in almost perfect condition for its age and works wonders. Do you have any insight on the brand. Has R-12 and a Tecumseh S

Hey Ken, As far as I know, in 1952 the Fedders room air conditioner you have was manufactured only in a 3/4 ton model. There was a 1/2 ton version of a different chassis design. A one ton console model was also available. Starting in 1953 Fedders made 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton models on the same style chassis.

Depleating the Ozone layer in 2024 as if it were 1969, nice! (No but honestly its a cool piece, just maybe dont use it too much)

Ah, think I found the VIP lounge..

One of the best compressors ever made! Very nice machine. The audio got messed up a little towards the end but was still watchable.

Sweet find. Unfortunately the audio in this video cuts out in a lot of spots

Technology is messing with me.. Literally read about the twin Meter Misers ten minutes ago and bam, a video recommendation for it.

POV you’re dead

Was that hissing sound the Freon coming out?

I never knew there were ever any window air conditioners that had a humidity control feature. That was certainly a marvel of its era!

Finally! It’s about damn time I see a part 2 and the very first startup of this unit

It took you long enough to get these videos out lol.

Im sure by the time im 60 this thing will still be here, working just as good. Unlike those crap modern ones!

Why would you run a brand new air conditioner without a filter in it? Those coils get dirty on this design from the back very hard to clean.

Even that jacket doesnt hide that gut i got going on 😂😂😂

I have the same airconditioner, I am trying to find a new thermostat, any recomendations? Thankyou

Looking really good so far

Cant wait for part 2 looking great

Less than 30 seconds in my ocd with that tape measure is beyond obvious.

Yes, the smaller B series compressors are less noisy. My friend had 2 Fedders 9000 BTU units (7.5 A) both with B types and they were quiet. I had the11,400 BTU Philco (12 Amp) 1967 model, and the Tecumseh B was rather noisy.

Does the Spearco turbo intercooler require a separate refrigeration system, or does it use liquid refrigerant from the vehicle's A/C system?

Just noticed this video. The unit at the end was made by McGraw-Edison Company, I think in the 1960's. It was sold under many different brands including Coolerator, Thomas A. Edison, Kelvinator and several store brands. The unit was left unbranded so it could be sold under any name desired.

That is so cool and amazing looking and I noticed how quiet it is compared to what they make now.

We had a Weather Maker from the early 70s that was in a Pool House. It was HUGE and actually worked too well! You could hang meat in that space where it was located! Ours had Two Motors. One for the Fan and one for the inside Blower. It was interesting to run it in fan mode and not hear a sound from the unit outside. Although the compressor was somewhat loud on the outside, the unit was so well insulated you just heard a "Hum" inside when it was running.

Hi, I have my grandmothers early 90s White Westinghouse ac and I noticed it wasn’t draining as it didn’t have a drain hole in rear. While cleaning it, like an idiot I drilled one out, popped the coil and lost all the Freon, it’s r22 so you can’t even get it anymore. I was wondering if you do repairs and what would be the cost. Also, where are you located?

Getting warmer in DaBurgh!!! Keep cranking out them vintage window shakers!! 👏👏👏 Everything is going well in Florida…. 👍. Have a great day.

Nice video man! What kind of hvac system did you install in the shop out of curiosity?

Whatever happened to that ‘55 GE mugwamp?? That would be sweet to use

Does that Phork (Philco York) I keep seeing still have it's factory capacitor? If it does *I need the mfd rating.* If it doesn't *I need the mfd rating.* Also, new storage unit!? Moving all those by yourself!? If you want help I need something to do when I'm not at work! 😃

Who owns this unit, you or TheAirConditionerGuy?

Sup Ken. Still working with the old-school Classics. 🤙🤙🤙. I am moving to Florida shortly and have a couple of dehumidifiers that I picked up off the side of the road to tinker with and unfortunately ran out of time before moving. If you would like to meet up at some point, you can take him and do a little video on them if you’d like. Let me know if you’re interested.

FYI, In 1960 Emerson started to make a few heat pump models. They used a standard defrost-on-demand de-icer thermostat. They continued to use this arrangement in 1961. Then in 1963 Emerson changed to the defrost timer.

I'm surprised that something with 8,000 BTUs didn't have an AJ. It had just been conceived by Tecumseh about 3 years prior to this Emerson, and were an instant hit for 8k+ BTU units. I always thought that the pancakes were more for tiny compact window units rated at 5k or less. Also, purist schmurist. Keeping the box itself original is more important than how new the plug is. Running a unit safely doesn't prevent it from looking awesome. I just replaced my '66 Welbilt's power cord with a brand new one with a test/reset switch because the old one looks a lot like yours on that Emerson, with a crapton of corrosion to boot. Awesome unit! Good luck running a comb through that condenser.

Great find! Apparently the defrost timer was in the defrost portion of its cycle when first starting up, turning the fan off. According to the schematic in the service manual, only the 11,000 BTU heat pump model has the anti-icing thermostat.

Hey Ken, This is a 1963-64 ‘Multi-Mount’ model intended to be window or transom mounted using a cradle type frame or mounted through-the-wall using a sleeve. It is rated at 7800 BTU cooling and 8000 BTU heating. That device you pointed out is not a choke coil but the defrost timer which as you probably know operates in the heat pump mode to minimize ice buildup on the outside coil. At predetermined intervals, the defrost timer interrupts current to the solenoid coil of the reversing valve and the fan motor. This sends hot gas to the outside coil for defrost and stops the fan motor to keep cold air from blowing into the room. Then after this interval, normal heat pump operation is resumed. Emerson designed their heat pumps to only work in heat pump mode above 45°F. This unit is well worth restoring and from what you show in your video doesn’t appear to be in bad shape except for the condenser fins which are in bad shape. It will take patience to straighten out those bent and damaged fins.

Never thought they would try to pack a heat pump into that chassis design

Congratulations on a great find! The ART-75-11 was rated nominally at 8275 BTU in the Frigidaire condensed service manual. Wattage varied between 1020 and 1260, depending on outside air temp. The unit was supplied with a 2-wire #12 cord and a 2-prong NEMA 2-20 T-blade plug as standard, with a 3-wire cord and crowfoot plug as an option. An "H" model with a resistance heater was also available.

Hey Ken, Congratulations on your unique find. Those 4 pole (1750 RPM) Meter-Miser rotary compressors are some of the best hermetic compressors made. The door on the front of the cabinet is for an accessory thermostat kit which operates the Meter-Miser controlled by the first "cool" setting. The other Meter-Miser runs continuously. It's been years since I serviced one of these but I believe the R22 charge is 2 -1/2 lbs. This basic design was made from 1950 through 1954. Your unit is a 1953-54 model.

that is a rare bird for sure .For your knobs, take a piece of metal tubing and slide it over the neck and then fill in the gaps with JB weld or something similar

This year has been a good one for finding 50's units imo. Now if only I could get ahold of a 1hp 50's unit to use downstairs. I could cool the entire house with 70 year old ac!

Use superglue and baking soda to rebuild the damaged plastic on the knobs. Works like a champ. I wonder if the refrigerant leaked out slowly around the compressor terminals since they are rubber seals and not hermetic glass seals. Looks like someone had potted plants on the front which would explain the rust.

I knew it I knew it!! A twin compressor early 50’s GM Frigidaire! I’m surprised that this unit takes R-22 rather than R-12. Can’t wait to see it get cleaned up and eventually get restored
