Where do you get halon fire extinguishers?
The manufacure of halon was banned a while back. And the manufacture of new Halon fire extinguishers was also banned.
BUT, old extinguishers can be refilled with existing stocks of Halon. I called around and found a local extinguisher service company that could provide 2 1/2 pound - good car size - refilled, certified units for a flat $75 - with a bracket.
And eBay has units, often from aircraft in large bottle sizes. Must be some FAA regs that require bottles to be replaced after a certain time length. They seem to go pretty cheap, considering the cost of the gas inside them.
Halon is sort of like R12 - still out there, everywhere, just got to be willing to pay the price.
