@Turbokinetic
That dehumidifier compressor is the same as whats in my Heat pump tumble dryer it even sounds the same :)
Are you going to be able to make a good AC unit out of those at all ? Find your fridge repairs really interesting have never been able to fix them due to not been trained other than thermostats and heaters as they are just wires, sadly a bit long in the tooth now to consider doing a course on fridge repairs but I still can learn by watching. Thanks for sharing Austin | ||

Thanks for another interesting video, Dave!
The Airtemp units are a bit older than you guessed — Chrysler sold the Airtemp Division to Fedders in 1975. I would guess these are vintage early Seventies ACs. An insider’s view of what it was like at Airtemp in the Sixties at the link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Supersuds's LINK | ||

Can't explain why I find these old window ACs interesting, either. I was always partial to Chrysler and by extension to Airtemp, despite never owning one.
I have some old Consumer Reports which test room air conditioners. Usually Airtemp was one of the higher-rated brands. It doesn't seem there was any question about their quality. There were just too many competitors for them to stand out. Of course, Philco-Ford and GM-Frigidiare also exited the room AC market at about the same time as Chrysler. | ||
