Bob,
I have a very water-soaked Porta-color I got for working on a set for another VK member. I think its the same set as yours but the label is faded
It seems like it takes a hard fail like a fuse for these NOT to work. I dont remember any porta-color that couldn't easily be repaired in the 80s.

Yep, they were near-perfect in many ways. Folks always kept them in the original box and only removed them for the cooling season. Many AC units were left in year-round but never a porta-cool, hence their durability.
I recall doing the install drill every spring for the older customers; furring strip on window sill, side curtain screws, bug strips and finally rope caulk all around.
