Local mechanics, most still carry it and work with it.

Just make sure to fix your leaks otherwise you will be donating your expensive r-12 to the atmosphere.

freeze 12 works the same and can be mixed with r-12

[Eurospec]

FWIW, r414b refrigerant seems to be directly compatible w/ r12 and is readily available. More info here, LINK

Freeze12 works well and is much easier to obtain.

How do I find leaks?

They sell kits at that have a UV dye in them. Inject and circulate into the system, then use a flashlight or wear some cool goggles to spot the leaks.
