Vintage Westinghouse Air Conditioner from the Trash

[Jordan U]

I found this vintage Westinghouse 5,000 BTU window air conditioner in someone's trash a few days ago.. The thermostat has failed open so that needs to be replaced, and it needs a good cleaning, but it otherwise works great! It never fails to amaze me what people will toss out..

That's a nice find, those old units were built way better than most anything sold today. What kind of refrigerant does it use?

Thanks, they sure are.. It uses R22.
