Was wondering if we have the tools to recharge a R134 AC system?
And I take that it would be in the green tool box?
We definitely used to…
The manifold gauges exist in the shelf between laser and automotive, hanging up. We had 3 pairs last time I was there but maybe they merged into two recently!

Luke Strickland is correct - the manifold and hoses are hanging up.
If you make it this Tues around 7pm,I’ll bring a 30 pound container of 134a to use.

Omg! No way! I can sooo make it! I’ll be there! 
Plus it’s my first time doing this thing.
What would be great is if we had a way to evacuate and recover. 
Rather than accidental catastrophic leaks causing total evacuation…
I’m assuming there is a vacuum pump as well right?
Yeah, there’s one really good one, its a red brick, it operates off of a concept known as a venturi effect. You plug the airhose into one end and the manifold gauge into the other end.
Looks like this except covered in grease…
We also have a different electric pump powered one, doesn’t work as good.
Gary,
If you’d like to donate a functioning recovery machine that would be great as well.
Wish I still had my old one. It would have been perfect.
I was there at 7pm in automotive until past midnight when I Ieft
This was…after Carey and son changed out the pads and fluid on their GTi, then the lift class and a change of wheels and tires for the jeep for a more “off road” look vs bone stock. The Russian sedan came in behind the jeep was beautiful and certainly an eyecatcher!
Perhaps another evening (not tonight tho) ?

I have one. I’ll let @TBJK check it out, if good, it’s donated. Brother-in-law, a Residual HVAC installer/repair tech gave it to me.

I Spoke to Tim last night about converting an R12 recovery machine that a friend will give me if I want it…
There are too many projects on my “to do list now” but I’ll add this to it…
Hey… I’m sorry about last Tuesday. Got stuck at work.
