Nothing wrong with using 134a as that's what that compressor had
in it previously.

The Mach I and the Mach II made by Chip-Con both run 134a.

134a is cheap and can be found in auto supply shops.

134a is used in all of today's auto AC systems. R12 was used previously
but made the banned list by EPA.

A license is not required to purchase 134a but other flavors of refrigerants
do require one. The exception is R290.... which is propane and it can be
purchased at any propane bottle re-filling station.
