Ever since I took and passed my EPA test for handling refrigerants, and working as a lab tech for my college working hands on with all our a/c and other equipment, I caught the bug.
First thing was a set of hoses:

Next will be a Yellow Jacket Series 41 R-12/22/502 manifold from our local supplier (school account=big discount!). Saved over $50 getting the hoses on Ebay though, absolutely had to have ABB connectors. Store wanted $90 with the discount for a set of hoses, not even Y/J hoses. I can live with $43 hoses as often as I'll be using them anyway. The manifold with 3 1/8" gauges will be about $70+-.
After that I'll get a micron gauge, then a weigh scale, and who knows from there.
I'm REALLY desperate to get the dry nitrogen out of my system and put some CFC12 in and get cooling, esp. with the weather we've been having.
Sorry for the crazy post, long day of work and family drama, really need a drink.
