Re: [Chrysler300] R12 A---collant



Hi Keith,
My mistake. The last time I checked was over a year ago, and the price was higher then. I didn't think R-12 would ever come down in price. I bought my last 30 lb cylinder before you needed the license, and it was $275. I was trained by Goodyear in the late 80-'s on A/C work. I also have the study book on the license, but have never followed through. Probably because I still have some R-12. I probably should go ahead and get it, as you have a very good price. I saw some on ebay, mostly partial containers. The full ones were $525-$575. This site lists them for $700 http://autorefrigerants.com/ . They also sell a supposed replacement for much cheaper. Funny that I didn't see a reference to the license. Sounds suspicious. 
300ly,
Don

  Retirement sounds like fun, so I wish they were $800, Don.  Check on Ebay.  I just sold a couple of my 30# tubes to a local A/C shop for $325 apiece.  I've depleted my supply quite a bit over the years, so I'm not really anxious to part with much more.  But if you show me you have a certificate I'll ship you one for $325.  You've got to add for the shipping charge of course - maybe about $50

      There's actually plenty of R12 freon out there and available for around 
      $10 a pound or so in the 30# tubes, so there is really no need to even 
      consider replacement freons. The nice part about using R12 in your 
      mid-fifties car is that your entire system - especially the condenser - 
      was engineered around the use of the R12 type. And that compatibility 
      will likely give you the very best results with respect to both cooling 
      performance and long-term maintenance.
