Good and I tried with the pressure gauge placed and if it pulls pressure and the only thing you notice when palpating the pipes is that it is hardly cold. Walk at least 20 minutes maximum and cut then do not start anymore. And it shows when approaching the hand to the ball that is quite hot. I would not know exactly how many grams of refrigerant you need I put 250 or so. The winding when disarmed was in perfect remission, basically as new.
