Why worry about an alternative? There's lots of R-12 still available and
from what I understand R-134 prices have gone up so much lately that
there's not much of a price difference. And, R-12 will probably give better
results than an alternative (in a system designed for it). Get the leak
fixed and re-charge with R-12.
