Hey, Russ: In 1956, the first year for which I have a service manual, Emerson made the Super Compact line in capacities from 1/3HP to 3/4HP, and the Super Dynamic line from 3/4HP to 2HP. In 1957, they added the Tru-Slim line (30" wide, but only16" deep; 1/2HP thru 1HP). In 1958, they added the Pick-UP portable (3650 BTU), and in 1959 the 3HP Super Dynamic (230V 15 amps, Bendix-Westinghouse compressor) was added to the line.
The EQK on the bottom (Large), that was the one I posted photos of on Flickr! Unfortunately, the beast was arcing on the outside and nearly set my bushes on fire (It did a Brave Little Toaster). Sucker was in the wall, and I think it was anywhere between 25-30K BTUs. I wish I could've saved the casing, or just left in the wall and slide the new one (it was one piece) into the casing. Compressor should've been a clue because when I clicked it on it sounded like it was gargling and was vibrating in the wall, scared the crap out of me.
@@mattkowal90 all that was is a corroded terminal connector. Probably a 10 minute fix. The large ones are all slide out models. Theyre pretty awesome units, surprising yours actually broke. Most are replaced because theyre old
I mean, it is solid 20 gauge wire, as long as he isn't an idiot and doesn't rip the ends off, it should be fine; better than most cheap extension cords which are commonly undersized.
These always remind me of the console TV sets of the era. Everything was dressed up to look like furniture.

What're the arrows for the fan on the floor?
Are all these vintage units going back in service or to a museum?
@@ryanglaser5336 i rescue them when i can. They all get restored at some point. Some i use, others i give to friends and family.
That yellow extension cord is a piece of junk!

@@WalterKnox I believe it is 12 gauge wire. I'm very surprised the wire hasn't broken anywhere yet, solid wire really doesn't flex well over time.
@@JordanU Non-stranded wire should only be used for fixed installations.
@@johncantwell8216 if it does, theres no shame for it. Its lasted nearly a decade now lol
