$1300 ??? Stay away from them.
In order to troubleshoot it, I need to get it going again. I'd rather not spend $230 to have it evac'd and recharged w/R12 just to have it leak out, or to have to evac again to replace a component. If I could do a Retrofit myself for $50, it will be cheaper to troubleshoot 134.
The compressor replacement is supposedly for a R134a compressor, even though there may be nothing wrong with mine. If mine will work with R134a, obviously I'd rather go that route.
