Old Room Air conditioners

I like the old room A/C's from the 1950's. I liked the Carriers of that era. Also GE made some nice ones. Does any have one they want to sell or do you know where to find them?

Carriers..

Of that era were the absolute best ACs, Cast iron semi hermetic compressors that would last FOREVER! Also good were the Fedders with the big round wheel in front, but as most of you know, i would like to find a Norge!

Vintage A/C

It is funny that you mentioned Norge. They were not known for their A/C's. My friends mother had one whichwas new in the late 60's. It was nothing special.

vintage a/cs

In 1958, my father decided to get an a/c for the downstairs of our house. Living room dining and kitchen. He did not go to an appliance store. He called up Fedders and they sent a man out to survey what size we would need. The salesman decided on a 2 HP Fedders through the wall unit which would be about 20,000 btus. We had to bring in an additional 220Volt line and then the unit was installed. Either the same day or next day, the salesman comes back to show us how to operate it! Unheard of today!
