Turns out that R12A is sold today: https://redtek.com/12a/

Here's a thread that discusses it some. I didn't read all of it. : https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/topping-up-with-can-of-r12a-refrigerant.385000/te

That pressure-temperature chart I mentioned earlier will answer questions about operating ranges, to prevent freezing, etc.

For anyone reading this: Beware that this discussion is about using compressed flammable gas in a vehicle air conditioning system. What could possibly go wrong? Am I right? Hold my beer and watch this.

Just the EPA 609, it is comically easy to attain. I have about 70lb of R12 here, 1.5 30lb tanks and a ton of small cans.

I did take it seriously and learned quite a bit!

No tech here, but I can fix most HVAC and MVAC crap of mine easy enough. Even sprung for a high end Fieldpiece gauge set recently that will display wild data and subcool plus superheat
