[RFI] Window Air Conditioner Advice Wanted

[Steve Kurtzman]

Hi Don,

OK ya got me there.  Not the kind of shack I was envisioning!

So basically you want an air conditioner with "mechanical controls".  I see
that they are still made, such as by Frigidaire, but only up to 12,000 by
them.

Maybe use two of them at opposite ends of the shack?  More expensive but
better air distribution.
