I got your email about this unit and then came across this video.. good unit! Tecumseh AJ series sounds just like the one in my Philco-Ford, also from 1968..
I actually found out that it might be older. There's no date code on the model plate, but these were apparently made between '65 and '69 before they switched to the 'chocolate bar piece' styling on the woodgrain. Also agreed. It takes less than 60 seconds to blow cool.
It's got a Tecumseh AJ, actually. I'm about to get to work restoring it. The compressor bottom and base pan has a fair amount of rust, and the condenser's aluminum fins at the very bottom are white and crumbly, so it's going to be an interesting restoration. I'll upload a video of the finished job.
Also, if you'd like, I can take a few high-res photos of my Super Power Master if you'd like to update your '66 Welbilt section on page 26 of your Tumblr once I'm done. Been too cold to get a lot done with it recently and I can barely lift 155 pounds by myself, but I'm close to finishing.
@@redleader6442 Thank you. Yes, if you could take some photos of the chassis from the top and sides as well as the fully assembled unit, that would be very helpful. How would you like to be credited for the photos?
@@air_conditioner_man I will have to get back to you on that, as I'm thinking about making a Flickr for my techy photos and would probably use that for credit. I'll be sure to get the photos you asked for. Need any closer photos of the fan motor and compressor info, and the Welbilt info plate?
Back then is when company's cared more about keeping the buying costumer of they're products have and hoping for a return of them or someone they gave good reviews to and now they are coming to buy it. Now they don't care about the costumers its all now its about how fast and how ugly and how expensive can we make it nothing made today will never last 54 years.

This is a 1966 model 'Super Power Master' unit. I believe it uses a Copelaweld 'R' series compressor. (2-pole, single cylinder, reciprocating).

@@redleader6442 Yes, photos of the data tags would also be helpful. Thanks!
