1980’s National & Mitsubishi Air Conditioner | Pre Restoration!

My interest for air conditioners go back to when I was a small kid. I remember staring at a National AC condensing unit with unique grey fan blades & thinking about why they designed it that way. That National AC made me look into almost every condensing unit I see to learn the shape of the blades, even until today! In junior high, I got the chance to work on something I had in my wish list back then, which is a DIY portable AC made of 2 condensing units. I purchased used AC units from my school's maintenance crew which was managing the school's remodel at the time, but before I even get the chance to look into those units, the school principal found out about that transaction & immediately contacted my parents & forced them to return the units. I was absolutely disappointed & mad at the school, since at the time I had it in me that my school will support every student, no matter how weird their passions are. I even argued with the principal for hours, but to no avail. Now I am much older than the young me who got red-faced talking to the principal about "how schools MUST support every student etc", and learnt that most schools are just jelly moulds for kids. I also learnt that a lot of fan collectors that surround me also collect & work on air conditioners. I was actually never really interested in the refrigerant part, as most AC related articles I read is about how Japanese manufacturers design the fan blades in their ACs to be as quiet as possible, making weird jagged/swoopy fan blades in the process. But recently the genius part of my brain decided to not let me sleep at night due to an "Analog Inverter" AC design it came up with, which is basically a 12.000 BTU AC with 5 small scroll compressors that switch on/off independently depending on the cooling demands of the room, which makes for a 'variable' BTU AC. I personally like the idea, but to make that 'ArtinAir MultiCool' AC into reality, I need to catch up with the knowledge of several of my seniors in the Indo fan collecting community who in the recent years have branched out into AC maintenance & repair. That's exactly the reason why when I saw the online ad for this unit, I immediately went for it. One because it's an absolutely delicious 1980's Japanese style unit, and B because the seller sold it as a scrap, which meant this unit was DIRT cheap! The seller is quite a ways away from me, and we got into a pretty big shipping problem due to how large & heavy the parcels were, but fortunately this unit arrived without any issues. Upon looking at the indoor unit, I was beyond amazed at how clean the evaporator is. Yes there's some rust on the edges, but that amount of rust is pure indication that this unit is a low mileage one. Not so lucky is the remote switch, which was falling apart & held together by tape when I got it, and also the condensing unit which has a ground fault, and is practically a shock hazard when running. I superglued the remote together prior to filming, so as checking the condensing unit to find out which component has a short to ground. I didn't specifically check the compressor, but the wirings & fan motor checked out fine, so through process of elimination, I point my fingers at the rusty compressor, which doesn't work for some reason. What do I want to do with this unit you ask? Well, fortunately I have a spare healthy AC condensing unit of the same cooling capacity as this Mitsuonal, so my plan is to just do a simple compressor swap & flush the condenser coils while at it. Simple for AC technicians, absolutely difficult for me, that's where I plan to learn from it. My goal with this unit is to end the day with a perfectly working vintage AC that I can actually use everyday instead of babying it like I would've done if this unit were to be installed with the original compressor, assuming I could get it working. #AirConditioner
