My guy uses something else in place of R12 also - forget the name but it pricey ($100 to fill my system, which of course had a leak in the compressor). I think R12 is out there "in hiding" perhaps having been bought up by hoarders. Anyone out there a friend of an A/C mechanic - we need some "from the horses mouth" info on best approach here.

Sid,
My German mechanic that uses nothing but dealer Benz parts has a stock of it, not sure where he got it. I am not sure what he wants to charge me to change over my system. These two things might be closely related!
I understand that there is an R12 that can still be bought that has some modification but works, not sure of the name.
I also hear R12 is cheap and plentiful in Mexico but that's a bit far for you and a bit dangerous for me.
