Title: I need a Little help please Post by: krovel on March 12, 2013, 08:19:51 pm I have a very old philco refrigerator , probably from the 50's that I need repaired. It has a very small hole poked in the condenser or freezer part that needs to be repaired and then refilled with the r12 stuff.
Is there anybody in the Dallas area that works on older refrigeration systems? Title: Re: I need a Little help please Post by: mznb1u on March 12, 2013, 09:17:22 pm Call Eric at Global Compressors-- an SMC website sponsor. He can probably help you out!

I love when I show up to a customers and they explain that the coil was frozen and while they were chipping the ice off they heard a hissing sound and decided to call me. :darn: I even witnessed an experienced refrigeration tech blow a hole in one with a oxygen acetylene torch. Needless to say he no longer does that customers work.
