yet another AC question.... ;)
Does anyone have a set of AC manifold guages for R12 that I could borrow/buy/rent? Need to charge my AC...I'm tired of sweating!
 Mike

If you were closer I would offer my gauges for your use. There is good news though. You can go to any refrigeration supply house and buy a set of gauges and hoses cheaply. The same manifold and hoses are used on home R22 systems and are much less expensive than an r134 set.
I also would expect this to be a common flea market item. Find the manifold set, then buy new hoses at the refrigeration supply house. I blew one of my 25 year old Yellow Jacket brand hoses and went to the local supply for replacements. They now have over double the burst pressure and about 66% higher working pressure. Same brand as 25 years ago. Worth the money. Best of luck,

As with anything, you can get tham at eBay. Used r12 gauges are cheaper to come by than r134 gauges. Fewer people - especially DIYers - charge with r12 anymore.

Even 8 or 10 years ago, when both were in great demand, R12/22 gauges were much less expensive. You don't have to have the couplers etc. and they are an older product with tooling paid for. I still say they should be easy to come up with.
Good luck,

acsource.com has a very nice new manifold guage set with very good hoses for only $56.75. You can use this same gauge set for R12 or R22, also R502 if you ever work on an ultra deep freeze.
Good luck,

Thanks Larry, and everyone else.
That Harbor Freight price sounds pretty good, I think I'll investigate that first. Much appreciation, Mike
