Machines from the EC family are genuinely old and are usually kept running for a specific reason rather than on economics. Mechanical parts can sometimes be adapted, but sealed-system work is limited by refrigerant type and part availability.
Owners should expect a technician to assess viability first. If the sealed system is sound, water-side repairs are often still possible; if it is not, replacement is usually the sensible route.
