Oh crap Max ;

I'm sorry to hear this .

I hope you can at least walk O.K. .

I was hoping to hear of some <magic> fix to staunch the slow R-12 leak , guess I'll just have Victor evacuate and re charge it again .

It's really nice in there when it's working , I know the white paint helps ! .

Death Valley @ 60° F is sweet , lemme tell you .

To - day wasn't as hot as yesterday but I took the drive shaft out of my Mighty Metropolitan Nash Sports Coupe (Road Rally coming  up soon) so I drove my Mercedes Coupe and it's AC is chill .

OOPS ! I wonder if it'll now decide to go kaput to - morrow .

O well, wont be able to drive all summer, again. Ha, Ha, Max

I shouldn't have bragged about the ice cold R-12 AC in my '82 240D ! .

To - day was a scorcher , it was 96° F @ 3:00 PM and the AC barely blew 80°........

This will be the second or third time I've had to evacuate and re  charge it , I am not proficient enough to find the leak and my AC guy won't , he says 4 ~ 5 years before it fails is fine , just go buy more R-12 .

Dammit .

Yes you can BUT you'd best connect a secondary vacuum hose to the blow side of the shop vac. or your whole house will turn grey inside.....

Does anyone know if you can take out the filter on a shop-vac and just suck stuff right tru? I want to use it for sucking ashes out of my stove but the filter plugs up real fast. ??????????????????????? Max

I will guess that the dusty, abrasive air would go through the motor; just guessing. You could google.com your make and model and see what a cut-away diagram of that assembly looks like.  I know my canister vacuum works that way.  Bill
