Are you going to refill with the "very" expensive R-12 ??

You know your stuff mrnickleye. I went by the ac shop today and the guy told me that the machine they use to reclaim the freon removes the moisture from it and filters it. When they vacuum the system moisture is also removed. He suggested that changing the drier was not necessary. Now the bad news. The estimate for reclaiming, vacuum, installing the switches and guesstimating on a additional 5oz of freon was $260.00.... The ac guy must of seen my jaw drop and hit the ground. He suggested I run the fans on a switch. According to him in Sunny south Florida you can't have a head pressure to low or blow to much heat off of your condenser. Lucky for me they had used the last of their r12 and had none in stock. I jumped back in my car with my wallet still full of money. Very good day I would say.

Yes I am going to keep my r12. A retrofit is not in my plans.
