I bought a NEW Hodyon (Hancock Ind) R-4 through NAPA. Price was $250. It has lasted past it's warranty so far. The rebuilt Murray I installed prior to the new one, lasted one day past it's warranty. The clutch/pulley bearings failed.
The new compressor is not noisy. I can tell it's engaged by the power difference in acceleration.
If you do get a new compressor, replace the expansion valve and drier as well.
I'm not going to tell you which refrigerant to get. I will say to avoid r-134 unless you live in Canada.
