Dave,
A vintage fridge can be recharged, you just need the appropriate refrigerant, the correct hardware, and a few hours to do it properly.
Travis and I are working on trying to find SO2. The late Mike Arnold said that a Monitor Top will run on R-12 Freon (not R-134A) but will be noisier. I've also heard that you can top off a low charged Monitor Top with some R-12 or an Isobutane & Propane coctail, but I don't know how the latter would react to the lubricating oil.
I need a Monitor Top now too!
