Repair or replace A/C?

My Front A/C just stopped blowing cold last week. Is it worth taking it to a shop for diagnosis/repair or should I just replace it? It is 23 years old. I know I could R&R the a/c myself and I think spending money on diagnosis may just be wasting money. Your thoughts?
  • Thanks for your quick responses!!! I will check the capacitors/relay prior to replacing the whole unit.

    Alas not enough info in the first post.. The "Fix" could be anyting from a 10 buck part to complete replacement of the rooftop unit to a loos wire (no parts at all).

    Now, In my case. it required a new rooftop module.. The new one is 11% more cool for the same amount of electricity. Good deal.
