One of my wife's friends loves to go to estate sales. I had asked her to look for R-12. She found a few cans for me. Around 25 or 30 years ago, we were at Sam's and I saw a 30 pound bottle in the shelf for about $70 so I grabbed it. No license needed, so I bought it.

Both of my 80s cars still use it. My father in law built a recovery machine, so only when I have a leaking system do I lose any, and I usually go many years with no recharge.
