Problem: Air Conditioning not cooling
Diagnosis: Small leak at the crimp in the hose from the receiver dryer to
the condensor.
Solution:
    1. Replace hose (suppliers: available? cost ?-please) and recharge with
R12
    2.  Refurbish the entire system to accept new refrigerant (R134???)
         at "considerable cost".
    3. Find someone who will recharge with R12----it will cool for the
summer at some cost to our deteriorating environment.

Question: Since the spot of the leak has been determined, is there any kind
of patch that will tolerate the high pressures found in the pressure side of
this system?

As always, thanks for your collective sagesse.
