I recall around 1990 the auto parts store I worked at bought several pallets of R-12 cans in anticipation of the ban, and sold them black market style at a tremendous profit (like $20 for a 12oz can) for a few years after the ban. R-12 can still be serviced, but of course at a very limited amount of facilities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
