I began this thread because on another thread SUDSMASTER spoke of his 50's model a/c with fake woodgrain on it. well I'm hoping there may be some oldtimers here that can talk about some a/c's that are older than SUDSMASTEWR'S unit which I'm sure is a really cool unit in itself (literaly).Well back around 1997 when I was in a HVAC course a fellow student brought in an old window unit a/c. Man I don't know how old it was but it had real wood on it. Like a peice of fine furniture. If I were pressed to identify the type of wood it had on it I wood guess it to have beeen cherry. I tryed everything in the book to trade, swap, or buy this unit from this guy but to no avail. The damn thing worked like a charm. i think he said that he recovered it from an attic at an old house he was doing odd jobs at on the side to pay for his schooling. ayways, I have never seen another work of art like that one since. anyone here have aything like this? I would like to see pics. I'm sure I couls see some on google but would rather see you guys stufff rather some generic crap on google plus I'm sure you guys may have some story to tell about your unit. By the way, I think the most reliable a/c ever built was the GE "Carry-Cool."
