Old Victorian rads

in THE MAIN WALL
Saw these two beautiful rads on the street in Fredericksburg VA. Figure I’d post the picture; I believe the owner is going to scrap yard them unless someone want to adopt them. Both 44”tall; one is 36” wide, other is around 46”. Heavy duty, bring your lift gate. 

Send me a PM and I’ll send you the map location if your interested. Not my units so no guarantees.

    Saw this today and felt queasy. No need for hydronic systems when youse got a fancy Mitsubishi system and a few hundred feet of linesets draped over your house exterior.  :(

    Looks like someone threw a bunch of spaghetti up against the wall and some of it stuck.

    Looks like someone convinced them that a PV system powering ductless would eliminate their heating bill in that old place.

    It ain’t gonna happen.

    Notice how the smaller unit is discharging air into the larger one. 

    Really knowledgeable people there.

    If I had time, I’d ride over there and get them.

    If I had access to a liftgate I would save them for you!
