The repair is simple and inexpensive. It is the labor that will eat you
up. Way more than what you paid for the unit. That is if you can find
someone to do the job. Proably more than some of the newer units.

Most small AC units do not have valves where they can be recharged easy,
so to add them on or work around that takes lots of time.




* Oh I agree , for you or me the repair would be simple and easy , you
also probably have everything on hand except a pair of tap-a-lines . And
since the system is empty , you could just use braze-in Schrader valves
.. But the OP is apparently not equipped to do this and you're right ,
labor will eat them alive .
