Vintage 1988 White-Westinghouse 7000 BTU air conditioner (WCI).

Very cool old unit with early digital controls. It's in very good condition and works very well. This is using the old style WCI chassis that is based off the old Westinghouse design. This machine would have been a very high-end model in its time. I've been looking for one of these for a long time and finally have one.

grew up in the 70's and my parents had this in their bedroom while the rest of us sweltered in the heat and humidity of Maryland in the summer time

My grandma had one of those (or similar model, but definitely a WW AC unit) when I was a kid. Those suckers were workhorses. I swear it cooled almost the entire damn house, lol.

@meeksywampus Yea, back when they made them to work good. They were really good machines.

God I love old window AC's. Still have an old sears one that works greats probably 30+ years old now, my friends family didn't want it but goddamn do they get the room cool and just WORK.

Very cool! I've been curious to see what these controls look like in action

[@engma91477]

it was one noisy ac, the fan motor went out on ours

[@brunoshow124]

@engma91477 Yea the machines WCI made after this were super quiet. Fan motors are pretty common on ac units.

Truely inane I found this because I have one just like It I hot from a garage sale for 8$. Fixed it a little bit "just needed a power cord replacement" works for what I Use it for.

@The_Purple_Sun they're good units. They work well, and they look good too. Take care of it and you'll have it forever.

Would love to be able to add new coolant to it, pretty cool though. I want one now for my shed :)

The door was smoked, not quite clear, but you could still see the red lights on

[@brunoshow124]

@@engma91477 That's cool. I'll have to attempt to find one. At least it looks fine without it.

[@vanillabiscotti]

Id say it was a smoked black or brown from what I recall. I wonder if my family still has this unit in an attic somewhere

[@brunoshow124]

@vanillabiscotti I'm picturing a very dark smoked gray if I had to guess. If you can find out at some point, it'd be cool to know. If not, it's not a huge deal.

[@CWM030]

Window unit, when you have Central AC? Is it cheaper to run a Window Unit vs using Central?

[@brunoshow124]

@CWM030 I don't have central. It's just for heat. One house we did have central, but we did use window units at night in the bedrooms, and it was cheaper to run.
