R-12 (freon) is running somewhere around $30. per pound (if you can get it) and it takes three pounds to fill your A/C system, plus the labor costs.

If the freon is gone, you probably have a leak. Often the fittings are the culprit. Have the entire A/C system checked out before dumping money into an expensive recharge.

You may be advised to convert to R-134a instead of staying with the R-12. Not a bad idea. Talk to an A/C pro, first.
