Now $35 each & barely work. No longer OTC either. I bet
you could fill 50,000 of them with the freon from 1 RAC.
Screwed again..........

I use some prescription albuteral inhaler (as needed) for wheezing mostly when I wake up in the mornings. You mean to say all it is is Freon? I have to pay over $100 for one inhaler (with insurance), so I use it only if absolutely needed. Maybe I should have saved a can of Freon 12 from many years ago, when you could buy a 14-15 oz. can for slightly more than a $1.00. Personally I think this global warming thing is more about politics and for company's to charge enormous prices for similar products. Not to change anyone's beliefs, but I believe global warming is just a hoax. The earth has always had ups and downs in temperature though out history. Mankind has only caused slight affect on earth's temperature. As for contact cleaner, I've been having pretty good luck with CRC brand QD Electronic Cleaner, which is available at Harbor Freight and many hardware and auto parts stores. Of course you can't beat De-oxitt which is the best for cleaning mechanical tuners and controls.
