r 12 refrigerant

[mattmctree]

i came across a piece of equipment that is still running on r 12. am i able to service and repair this equipment with r 12 if i am able to find old stock?
does anyone know the going rate for a 30 lb cylinder or virgin r 12?
thanks

If you can find it, you can use it. You just can't use something that has been in another system without it being brought back to virgin state.

ok thanks. what a fair price to expect to pay for a cylinder of r 12?

I couldn't even guess, but I'd assume it wouldn't be fair since mostly only large expensive pieces of equipment would use it.
