Re vintage AC current usage..
I still contend that even though the old ac's used more current...they were not really less efficent because the air coming out of them was so much colder than todays junk...in other words, the old air cond. would run much less than whats made today...just as a vintage dishwasher might use 12 to 15 gallons of water, but run only 35 to 45 minutes...water is still cheaper than electricity so in essence the old one is no less efficent than the new one that runs 2 hours and does nothing!...Robert and Fred, that Whirlpool is beautiful!! I guarantee you will get some ice cold air out of that!!
