Westinghouse used to make great units. They were the #1 seller in Columbus, Georgia where my grandmother and aunts & uncles lived and they always had Westys. United Oil sold them in all their appliance stores there.
Knowing me my intrusive thoughts would've been telling me to touch the vice grips just to see what happens (probably see the light). All seriousness though i love these bigger machines way more than the smaller ones, though less fancy, this is no exception. Love the way the controls look and just the front cover in general.
Nice AC you have there! Good 'Ol R-22 Nice wiring job as well everyone knows safety grounding is for wussies LoL! Two questions for you (If you don't mind answering) What is the "Automatic Dual-Stat? Question two I notice that on some vintage and older units that the fan motors have three speeds but in fan only mode (not like many people actually use that mode, or do they?) why are only one or two of the speeds available and not all three?
@@Peter_Yachymczyk im not sure what that stat feature is i have to play around more. The 2 speed fan 3 speed cool is just in the selector switch. Probably a cost cutting measure with 1 less position.

Listed in the NEMA 1966 directory.
The 30-amp L-ground plug was pre-1968.
