And if you're lucky (they are cheap, but hard to find unless you buy ahead of the need) you'll find a used R12 reclaimer for $100-200. The shop wants to reclaim your R12 and sell it to a recycler, then charge you for the new R12 they put in your system. You should be able to suck the R12 out of your system, replace or fix the hose, replace the receiver/dryer, and put your old R12 back in if you have the machine. Maybe you'll have to buy a 12oz can to top it off.
