It was actually done by my shop on base in Yuma. All in all it cost me around 60 bucks for them to install the fittings, drain out the R12, and pu in the Freeze 12. It cools awesome too. So just another option for you to look at!

Since Freeze-12 is 80% R-134a and 20% R-142b, the usual question would be "Why not just convert to R-134a?" but with the price of R-134a these days.....it is not much more money just to stay with good old R-12.
Also, Freeze-12 won't circulate mineral oil very well and that will affect the longevity of your new compressor.
