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 I was given a name of an old 7up guy several years ago, but the number I was given is now out of date and I can't find his new number.

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.

Hi Vendo81d,
Do you by chance have the contact for the person in North Carolina? I live outside of Raleigh and would love to have a contact the next time I have an issue.

Do you really think I would refer him to a guy that I had to sue in court?

My refrigeration unit is not one of you know who's. I bought the machine from a guy in Michigan who bought it from Home Arcade. I had to re-do everything because it had a lot of rust. It had been running for about eight years before it quit cooling.
