A/C Condenser - 1993 240 - What to Do? 200

I just spent more than few of the remaining minutes I have left talking to an eBay agent(?). I was bitching (of course) about a confirmed order for 2 - 1993 240 A/C condensers canceled by the seller. I guess I should have known the beater did not have any either, whenever all the usual sources had dried up.

So, here I sit with a cooked A/C compressor after some moron filled it with 2.07 lbs. of R134a instead of 1.63. "A little extra Freon didn't hurt anything - you're allowed +/- a half pound.",sure, and the A/C clutch smoked itself while the compressor puked out its oil just for the hell of it.

The common wisdom seems to be to install a new condenser with a compressor exchange.

Since I have not been able to find an replacement condenser, what should I do? Is there another condenser out there of PROPER capacity which can be plumbed in place of the correct part? Or, can a used 1993 240 condenser be flushed well enough to be reused?

As usual, any help will be appreciated.
