[-459FZPE]

Looks like an Heil or some other old ICP product IMO

[m-cooling]

that there is a Singer like the sewing machines. I believe it to be at least
50 years old.
Singer even shifted to manufacturing guns during the war

some of the oldest units I've replaced have been Whirlpool.
It does look like one.

in the town of Hutchinson, Kansas there are hundreds of these singers, still running today. they were installed bythe biggest company in town, and this company sold this brand for many years. they now sell arcoaire. I think they sold singer equipment right up until they went out of business or whatever.

they are starting to get changed out, and most still have the origional compressors in them.

My guess was based on the age of the house. It's an old house and there's 2 of these with the huge side by side ducts furnace.original comp.

this condenser was really not much different from the things we put in nowdays.
same components but units have more bells and whistles now

Yep, I had one of those suckers. :D I bought my first new construction house in Hutchinson in 1980, and it had a Singer furnace and AC. Decker & Mattison was the contractor, I recall, and they pretty much did all the new construction in Hutch back then, so every new house had Singer. My AC was 8.5 EER, which was labeled as "high efficiency" in that day. I lived in that house five years, never had any problems with the Singer equipment.

Good ?. We were still wrapping boilers with asbestos in the middle 60's.
Maybe the mid 70's. No really sure. Taken out a lot of Octupus's with the "Bad White Stuff" on em. Now it is call the abatement Co.

singer,i know of a few of them around here.....the one ones i worked on have the fins on condenser that some manufacturers are going back to these days with their aluminum coils....watch out for the king valves on these as the one i worked on wouldn't seat all the way.

yep, decker & mattison was the leader back in the day! They pretty much still are. Although there are a lot of other companies in town, they have been around for so long, I don't think they will ever be surpassed.
I worked for E&M, the company further up the street :D

[justbud38134]

I work for a property management firm that would rather die than replace somthing that can be fixed. So I do what I can do.:(

[spymoocow]

they dont make em like they used too. I ran into a unit earlier this year. it was a Crysler...with a belt driven ofm....was intresting to work on. i think it was...50 years old? still running good too.

[Texas-Tech]

Has anyone ran into what we always called a Table Top lately? Don't remember the brand right off but has the horizontal condenser coil.
