Howard:
I have another question for you. I purchase the condenser called out in your article, 16x22 from Nostalgic Air. My 16x22 seems to be a bit bigger than the one have pictured. It appears the 16x20 may fit better. If I was correct in my attempt in reverse Engineering your design (which I should complement you on, a nice implementation of new technology into the classic form); it appears you kicked the positioning of the condenser over about 2 inches and slightly up, to allow access for the Freon connections which can interfere with the horn locations.
The unit I have is just about the same width (approx. 23") as the original condenser and does not permit the convenience of a shift. I'm looking to exchange for a 16x20 (part no. 54-1620) unit to give me some working space. Can I ask you what considerations you made in positioning the condenser both to the right and slightly up? Everything appears to fit nicely.
Fortunately I have access to another 55, with air, where I have been able to make measurement. I'll attempt to attach a picture showing my 16x22 next to the original condenser.
Once again thanks for your help.
Dave
