Where can I fix my condenser

[MANUCHAO]

Anyone knows where I can get my condenser fixed?
Would any A/C shop be able to do the job?

I tried SOR but they said my year has been discontinued
Would an 86 condenser fit?

Please help !!

A decent A/C shop should be able to fix the condensor. Here in Guatemala they MADE me a 4 core rad for the FJ45LV.

Same

Let me know if you find that shops will fix it (I will check my local area). I looked into replacing mine after an accident a few years ago; no joy... Not looking forward to another summer without A/C.

Any a/c shop should be able to repair a pinhole type leak. Any year 60 with factory air will work. Vintage air, old air products, any manufacturing types can size and ship you one.

I got my Condenser fix today.
Found a place that fixes radiators.
I called them up and asked about condensers.
They said they could fix it.
I did not now the preasure in a condenser is 10 to 11 times that of a radiator....
They welded the little whole I had on the top driver side corner and preasured tested it under water.
$30.00

Now I got to recharge it.
I been quoted $120.00 in two different shops across town.
Is that about right ?
Or should I keep looking around.

I was afraid I had to go and try find one at the bone yard or even worse purchase an aftermarket product.

$120 is about right. Don't forget to use a NEW filter dryer. You should ALWAYS use a new filter dryer when the A/C system has been opened.

condensors are really just radiators...take it to a radiator shop.

Thanks for that info.
I'll make sure to have a new filter dryer.
