It isn't just a simple weld job. Once the tube is repaired you have to replace the refrigerant and that is the problem. The ACs are sealed units. If you add a service tap you have destroyed the integrity of the whole sealed unit. I see you are in Michigan but you don't say where. We are fairly close to Elkhart and I would just look there for an AC. They are not that difficult to change yourself. A foam gasket, 4 long bolts, and an electric connection are the only things to do. The AC will come off from the roof side after you remove the inside covers and the 4 bolts. The biggest problem for me is the roof is too high. I don't do ladders or heights. I had one repaired one time and it did work but if the fellow hadn't been a friend it would have been about as expensive as a replacement. Check out PPL and some of the other online parts suppliers.
