Does anyone have a recycling machine for R12 near me in NJ? I need to replace the front seal in the Firebird's A6 compressor and don't think it would environmentally (...and/or financially) intelligent to let $150 worth of Freon float up into the atmosphere.

It would be nice to borrow one or even buy a used one outright.

My mechanic buddy had a nice used Snap-On machine at his garage but his employee decided it was old and threw it in the dumpster (don't get me started - it had 5 pounds of my R12 in it already!).
