WANTED VINTAGE AIR CONDITIONER -- ROUND VENTS

[newvista58]

Hi Everyone,

 

I really want a Fedders "Circle of Air" / "Weather Wheel" VINTAGE Window 

Air Conditioner, as they are called.  They have a Single Round Large Rotating Vent

on the front Panel.  They were made from the Late 50's to the Early/Mid 70's.  

These are my most favorite.

 

I will however be interested in other Vintage Models with Circular Vents,

such as the GE's and Amana's.  

 

I will entertain any "cool" Vintage Air Conditioners NO Newer than theEarly 70's.

I prefer 50's to Early 60's, actually, and I definitely prefer the

Cream Colors / Off White, as opposed to Wood Grain, but

will look at anything that Fits the Age Requirement.

 

Thanks for keeping an Eye out for me.  I need them, in keeping

with all my furnishings.  

 

Best Washes,

 

Louis

I have one still in house from the 1950s or early 60s …It has a round vent and probable still would work…Good luck old air cond went to junk yard in arizona…you might find late 1970s but 50s and 60s are never seen by myself and i look at old houses all the time...

Hi Louis..

I still have your Compact vac stuff, sorry ive been so slow sending it, I had a 52 Fedders in my bedroom at home, I wish I had kept it, you would have loved it, it was quiet and cold cold COLD!

 

[newvista58]

No worries Hans....

I wish you had kept it too
Why did you get rid of it?

Thanks for thinking of me.

 

[norgeway]

Its a LOOONG story..

But I had to sell a bunch of stuff and my house in 2005, Broyhill Furniture laid me off, and it put me in a bind....So, until I met Donald and moved to Mocksville I lived in an apartment.

SORRY HANS (

That sucks man. But glad you are in a good situation now.

Please keep an eye out for them in your travels.

I've wanted one since I can remember. An older cousin had one from the late 50's and it was still a daily driver till the house sold in the 90's.

It seems I keep missing them....So close, yet so far

Hope all is well

Louis, I have one I'd pass along to you. Give me a couple of days to get a picture of it to you. Also you'd have to figure how to get it from Arizona to you.

HI MARTIN.......

 

 

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me.  I have a unit or two that 

look like that, and it does suit the bill.  But, I really want a true

Vintage A/C with circular vent(s), Esp. a Fedders.   I'll actually

be picking up an AirTemp Window unit Sat Morning, that looks

similar to that M/W, but has a Door over the Control Panel.

 

BUT don't give up looking for me.  You seem to find them

better than I can.  

 

BTW / I still need to come down and get that Kenmore from

you.  Just let me know when is good for you. Maybe a thrifting

run to boot?

 

Thanks for the tip on the Hassock fan.  I do have a few already.

 

Talk soon.

 

Louis

HEY JUSTIN....

That would be AWESOME. I'd love to see a pic? Just curious.....How many BTUs?

My friend suggests AMTRAK Freight as a
possible way to ship. I'll cross that bridge when I get there

What stinks is there is an in the wall Weather Wheel 2 mins from my house in an apartment that just sold. It works. I tried it during the
estate sale. They don't use it and won't sell it.
UGGH / LOL. They stuck a small unit in the
window next to it.

Thanks again, and keep me posted.

Louis

Wards A/C

That's a pretty one!  1983/84 or later, since Montgomery Ward didn't switch from the "blue bar" logo to the Serifa logo with the underscore until then.

 

[polkanut]

Is this what you're looking for?  I'll keep a look out at the local estate sales.

HI TIM.......DEFINITELY

Fedders had many different style round registers, but the 

placement on the front panel, was always the same.

 

I'll take any of the Fedders that have that look/configuration,

and of course the Older the Better. 

 

Thank you for offering to keep an eye out.  I appreciate 

it 

 

Best regards,

 

Louis

Louis, The one I have looks similar to #14 but is only half as wide and sticks out about a foot into the room and about 2 more feet outside. It would not work well on a double hung window like the ad, but in a casement window or permanent installation.

 

[newvista58]

THANKS FOR THE ADDED INFO WAYUPNORTH - TIM....

That gives me a much better Idea of the size.

It would be great to see a pic, but I know you

said you can't take one.

 

It's just hard to take something, sight unseen,

from a long distance. 

 

It does sound cool.

 

[wayupnorth]

I understand Louis, with no electricity, that attic is pitch black and a flashlight wont work to get a picture.
