Somebody Help

I was looking at a web site earlier for a supplier of refrigerents and I cant seem to relocate it. Not sure but I think Jeff posted it. Im gonna buy 30lbs of R-12 and some R-11 also. Can anyone direct me?

There may be some restrictions about buying r12. I overheard a conversation between two air conditioning guys the other day and they 'thought' that there was something called rf12, which is a tamed down version of r12, completely compatible.

But I have learned never to completely trust refrigeration guys.

Thanks Jeff, I dont know if this is a good thing but this is less than I thought I was gonna spend. Must be getting bad to expect to be paying even more.?!

While were guessing about R12 availability. I heard the best source is Mexico. If there is any member living near the border willing to check it out, I'm sure we would all be gratefu. You would be a real hero showing up in Sana Fe with a bottle or two of R12 under your arm. I still remember going into a Costco store just as they were phasing out R12 and seeing pallets of the R12 bottles stacked up. If hind sight only worked I could have gotten wealthy with a healthy buy of the stuff. If only a frog had wings.

win42, you may want to check yourself in somewhere, because you are fitting into the POG group very quickly..."if frogs had wings?"

You may wish to check around some real airconditioning outfits if there are any in your area. Some of these guys have 'the back room' where you can get lots of stuff. But I think you will have to pay some Lew Bucks for it. BTW, if someone gets nailed bringing r12 across the border they could get in some trouble for it without a license.

I just by chance got to talking to the owner of the local garage about R-12. After a short conversation he agreed to sell me a 30lb. keg for the same price that I got from the web site Jeff suggested, $577. Guess this guy stocked a bunch of them, for who knows how cheep before everything changed, he is more than happy to part with one, for almost 6bills! The source that Jeff posted has everything you need, you need a tax I-D number though.
