if you would have stock piled a warehouse up 10-15 yrs ago you could retire by now selling the stuff.

there isn't much r-12 left, don't make it anymore that i know of.it's imported i heard.

not that hard to convert to 134.
Yeah, R-12 is imported (smuggled) a lot. IMO in a legacy system R-134A doesn't hardly cut it. For 1lb $30-50 is the going rate around here. I wish I had a warehouse of the stuff, at the very least a 500 gallon tank.
