[BC] Tape deck issue

[Gary Glaenzer]

if you need Freon, make friends with your local HVAC guy

they routinely have 20 or 30 pound canisters of R-22 with less than a pound
or so left in them, that they have to pay good money to have disposed of
'properly'

buy an R-12 hose 60" long at NAPA or CarQuest for under 15 bucks and you can
not only use it to clean but to frost parts looking for the thermal
intermittent

of course, proper ventilation is a must....................and if you want
to really 'do it right', get an application for Freon certification from
your local auto parts supplier and take the 'test' (20 questions, open-book,
honor system)
