After a couple attempts to get the factory installed aircon system on my 1984 W123 300D NA up and running with R12 gas equivalent, the compressor continues to get "stuck" after brief periods of engagement.

I've been reading that there are far more efficient/ newer options for compressors out there and wanted to ask if a specific solution was recommended?
