how expensive are we talking? how long does R12 last before recharge?convert it to R134 it will be cheaper and easier in the long run. r12 is EXTREMELY expensive.
i also heard that conversions will only last a year or so b4 compressor and the seals will need replacingUnsure how much it is, but there is a retro fit kit we sell at AutoZone. I think it’s somewhere around 30 bucks. It’s not real involved and the kit’s affordable. I can check today on the price.

is this tru?
I sell R12 out here in the desert(palm springs) for 30(friends price) to 50 a #. I enjoy making easy money.Do the Conversion on it.
Yeah, don't get a conversion kit, if you ever plan on getting it repaired. All the kits and what not have R134 with leak sealer in it. Leak sealer is bad. It clogs smaller passages, and when you finally decide to fix it properly, the shop will have to replace the compressor, condenser, evaporator core, suction and discharge lines, any seals not included with the parts, and the orifice tube. Major repair bill there. As a parts peddler, thought I'd give my $.02.
