OK, perhaps the eco-***** have done us in again.
In the NE yesterday I tried to get some R134a ..... and NO ONE in
western NJ, Eastern Penna. or Delaware has any ...... ???????
I can get it online from Florida .... at about 400% above the 'normal'
price.
I know the manufacturer, duPont, has had problems in production and
legal - as they are appraently having GREAT legal problems with all
their Fluorine based products. The production problems started last
year but duPont advised that all would be 'remedied' by December 2004.

Any suggestions; or, should I just bite the bullet and find some
bootleg R12 and switch back?

thats really strange to hear. Also, du pont is not the only one who makes
134a, just a perticular brand of 134a. Try a wholesale refrigeration shop
or sales house. Or try Schucks or Napa online, and you could probably
order it and have it sent to your house. I know here in washington state,
I can walk into the parts store (did the other day) and they have shelves
full of 134a....

by the way, R-12 right now is going for about $900.00 a pound, so I don't
think you want to go back to that.
