I've been following your channel for about 3 years now and this is by far the most entertaining video you have ever posted! I was laughing my ass off watching you nail those bastards. I'm glad you didn't get your butt full of wasp stings though. I hope you plan to clean up that 56 thinline. Those are great units and I'd love to see it fixed up and in one of your windows. They were very popular here in Atlanta in the 60s. Love the sound of the compressor. I noticed the early thinline had a four-blade condensor fan and the later ones into the 60s had a five-blade. It would make a nice companion to the 55 GE mugwamp you restored 3 or 4 years ago.
@@TheAirConditionerGuy Unfortuntely you don't see many vintage window units here anymore. Thwre was a house a couple of blocks from me that still had a Thinline in a front window but it was removed last year. That same house also had a circa 1953 or 54 Philco unit in another window. The owners had central air installed and apparently trashed these beauties.
@@TheAirConditionerGuy I already know. That's why I have a vintage 3 ton Marvair heat pump combined with an air conditioner. I got the unit with it's matching thermostat. When you run the heater, the red light indicates the heater is running. Two red lights indicates emergency heat without the compressor running. It cools the room off quicker than central air conditioning.
You, Win? Be careful. That is the best sounding compressor ever! Do you know if this model was ever intended for window installation? Reason Asking is because everyone that I ever saw when growing up in Louisiana homes were installed through a wall. I can't ever remember one installed in a window. Thanks for taking the time to make such fun videos!
@@brentaudi9354 there were kits for them, and even an optional rolling stand on wheels for moving them from room to room. Im sure some of them are still there yet
@@M10000 me too! Its the rare 80 ”non D” version. I have to go over it and clean it up a bit, replace the prone to failure Sanyo chips, and she should be good to go.
It’s always great if you can get a vendetta against those bastards. One thing that I like about that GE is it has a visible condenser fan. There’s very few window units left on the face of this earth with a visible condenser fan. I have a few videos in my channel of vintage GE PTACs with visible condenser fans. They were once prevalent but now next to nothing. Those were probably the only PTACs that had a visible condenser fan.
I hear very small teens it sounds like the WASP are flying into the condenser fan my mom had an old feathers in her living room pretty sure it was a 70s or 60s one they're pretty common but it had a wasp nests in the back luckily there is a wall separating the outside from the inside as sat there and turned it on I spun the blower a few times and I'm f****** lost decided to trespass to inside the house but by the time those two wasps got in the house that blower was already spinning you should have seen the swarm of them that were outside the house it was insane I didn't know that many wasps could live in an AC

@@Sammy2012ify the only ones that i know of. Last to do it were the late 80’s WCI units that were based off of the old Westinghouse units
