Keco A/C's today- a bargain?

Anybody end up with one of these Keco 1.5 ton A/C units from Tobyhanna today? For $200 before shipping for 4 units that appear to be new, I couldn't resist. But it looks like only 5 or so out of 200+ sold. I know they are 3 phase, but are these things some kind of lemon the gov't dumped? My Keco military "window" unit A/C works fine . . .

I was watching them also. I had one in Iraq for my tent(see picture), it work great for four months then the compressor went bad. I powered it from a 5kw gen. Bad thing is they are very, very noisy.
My unit had them back in the 80's mounted on the front of a semi-trailer(4ea), it seams we were alway working on them.

A/C'c

Only 5 or so lots sold......Well I bought 4 who got the other one? Man I wish GL hadnt upped their minimum bids......Probably will see these again.

Keco's at Tobyhanna

I am picking up 2 skids/lots.

Okay Guys, I ended up the lot (4) from Tobyhanna yesterday. Is anyone close to this location that would be interested in picking them up for me and interested in bringing them four down to Virginia? PM me if interested or possibly trade delivery for an M116A2 or M105A2 in trade. Must be within 14 days or so (before the heat sets in here in Va)

Well I finally got the Keco A/C units in today, motor freight lost them for a while. Cost $390 to get 4 units from Tobyhanna PA to Texas. So I have $150 ea in what I think is a really nice unit. They are brand new, never out of the box, heat and cool, complete with manual and the power connector. Yes they are 3 phase 208 V, but with all the MEP gensets everyone is buying, should be no issue to power. I am lucky to have 3 phase at my shop. GL only sold a handfull out of 100's, so they will come up again I would think.

Group,

Hopefully GL will group them togeathe better for the next sale if most did not sell. I see at Barstow they are putting two M105 trailers togeather in lots from ones that did not sell.

$150 for two trashed M105 is not bad. Maybe if no one bids on them again, we may see four M105's in a lot. Hopefully they will do the same with the A/c units.

Laterrrrr

A/Cs @ Tobyhanna

Did you ship yours via UPS. I was there the same day that they picked them up.
I picked up my 8 and Orionspath's 4 units.

They are not light.

UPS as in UPS Freight? These are too heavy for regular UPS at 280 lbs each strapped in a 4 pack plus pallet. Mine went via Vitran, they did a great job keeping things undamaged.

Ordered some 12-4 SO cord today to make up the power cable from Mc Master Carr, will be "in the cool" here in the next few days.

I bought some of those several years ago. They looked almost new. I only got a few power cords and they are almost impossible to sell without one. I took two tested good units to 3 shows and finally sold them for $100 each to another dealer. A 10KW gas gen set will run two of them but will not start the third. I have one hooked up at the shop which has an oddball type of 3 phase (110 to ground on two legs and 220 to ground on the third) and it runs fine on that so I wouldn't worry about the 208 voltage rating. Overall, they are a nice unit, just don't expect them to sell like hotcakes.

Their intended use:
