 Strange part was... he says it's a 3 pound system, but it took six pounds of
 freon (used R-12... Freeze-12 not available here in Hawaii) to get it to
 cool.  What's up with that?  Not sure what made it start working all of a
 sudden (must have charged it and evacuated it six times), but he says it was
 not cooling until right up to the point when he added the last half pound.
 Is that normal?  Also, he says he's still seeing bubbles indicating that it
 could even take more freon... whadayathink? >>

Mick,

I just had my recently acquired Syncro serviced at my local AC repair center.
They said it's a 3 lb. system. It took just three pounds. Now it's super
cold. This was just done this morning.
