R-12 warning

Just a warning to all of you out there... I had my A/C recharged
recently. I first tried the place that I have gone to for years for my
R-12 work. The guy inside said "R-12? Sure", then when another fellow
came out carrying a small device I asked him if it was pure, 100% R-12.
Negative, it was something he called "F-12" (80% R-134a and 20% R-12)!
They had recently stopped carrying R-12 entirely! What made me mad was
the fact that they lied to me about having R-12. I found it elsewhere,
so now everything is well.
The moral of the story is, if you're like me and aren't ready to roll
the dice with a conversion, then make absolutely sure you're getting
R-12 before they put anything in. As the archives will tell, people
have had mixed results with conversions, but that's another topic.
And another warning for Memphis goers: it's turned quite hot (and very
very HUMID) here in TN, so you may want to make sure your A/C (and
run-off tube) are all in good shape before the show.
