If it is a Vendco let me know the model # and what is wrong with it.
I have a couple of those and they are easy to work on.

It is in fact a vendco. mnf # 01C4755BP model V-475-268.

Everything comes on fine but doesn't get cold. There is very little pressure in the system so it obviously has a leak. Just wondering if anyone has ever put there own refrigerant into one of these things? And I believe in takes R12 (thats what I get from the tag anyways) and that is not available anymore. Not legally anyways.

Yes R-12 it is, You can get a convertor and fill it with the new stuff very easy, get ahold of a vending guy in your area and they will be able to take care of it. you can probably get one and then fill it yourself. Glad everything else works,.

Call an A/C guy....and if you have a truck go visit him on Saturday morning. He'll have a 'sniffer' and either automotive or residential can check it out.

To convert to R134 is expensive, do a search on "duracool", R12 compatible, inexpensive and offer DIY kits!!

Thing is, designed for automobiles........so the machine has to have the standard connectors.

Anyways not a complete wasted post, anyone with an R12 equipped car can get their A/C going for under $100! ;-)
