The saddle clamp valve are not a permanent fix. It is not a matter of if they will leak, but when they will leak. To properly fix a unit with soldered in place Schrader valves, you need to do a leak check, solder in the valves and repair the leak with a nitrogen purge on the system, evacuate the system and recharge the system.
Usually a technician will charge an amount that will be approaching 1/2 of the cost of a new unit. You can sometimes find a smaller shop that will be willing to work on a hermetic unit.
