    Central A/C units tend to be easier to dismantle than window A/C units, as generally the SawzAll is only required to cut the ends off of condenser coils and cut the fans off of motors. The saw might also be needed to get through blower motor casings in furnaces and air handlers, but for the most part central A/Cs can be carefully taken apart with minimal destruction. This 1987 Lennox was a different story; I had to use the Milwaukee to cut through the fan grill, because the the hex bolts were rusted, and I also had to cut through most of the cabinet order to get the guts out…

    $101 for the entire A/C unit (chopped up and properly sorted, of course), some parts of the furnace, and the entire heat exchanger from furnace!

    I saw this thing in Quaker Hall at Pennhurst Asylum. It looks like a window A/C unit, but that makes little sense because the inside part seen here looks like the outside part of a window unit...

    I posted the other picture of steam radiators in the MegaThread because the didn't seem to be connected to anything, or even in their original location. This one seems to still be hooked up...
