Know any refrigeration repairmen in Illinois?
vendo81d:
My Vendo 56 quit cooling after running for 10 years or so. It still runs, it just doesn't cool. I have a big canister of R-12, I just need someone to fix the leak and recharge the system. I'd prefer to find someone relatively close so that I can drive to the shop instead of shipping. I live near Springfield, Illinois. I was given a name of an old 7up guy several years ago, but the number I was given is now out of date and I can't find his new number.

Yep, that can happen when you’ve died. ( hopefully not) :hopefull:
Pays to not procrastinate , Sorry I can’t help you as I’m in S.E. Michigan/Detroit-metro area.

I haven't check, but Fun-Tronics is in the state...

I didn’t know they did refrigeration repairs ( Funtronics)
You could check your local White-pages. for refrigeration repair as opposed to HVAC repairs, or an appliance repair shop. You assume it’s just a leak, but it could be a half-dozen different things that could cause it to stop cooling, most main stream shops won’t touch your machine because they don’t wish to be held liable.

I was able to track down the old 7up guy. I found his address and went to his house. He wasn't home, but his wife was and I gave her my card. The guy did call me back, but said that he was working exclusively for a guy in Peoria and didn't want to take on any more work (he's in his late 60's). He said that a couple of years ago he could help me. A couple of years ago I didn't need him because my machine was working fine.
I did talk to Janet at Fun-Tronics and she gave me two names, but they are pretty far away. One is in North Carolina and the other is in Maryland.
