I just plugged it in today and after a few hours it still wasn't cold. I bypassed the thermostat and same story. I can hear the compressor kicking in and staying on, and I feel air blowing. What can I do now?

Call Eric at Global Compressor would be my advice.

Remove the thermostat. Take the two wires off of it and connect them together. This will cause the compressor to stay on, so don't leave it this way. |

If the lower fan is coming on, it won't make any difference. The compressor and the
condenser fan are wired together to be "cycled" by the thermostat. If you have power to the lower fan...you have power to the compressor. At that point, you need to look closer at the compressor or the cooling system, tubing, coils, etc.
The compressor may be shot or there may be a leak or.....

I suppose DIY refrigerant top-up is outta the question ? Do they make drop in replacements that can be mixed with R-12 ? (ie. you don't need to drain the old stuff, replace seals, oil, etc)

Yes,
Try Freeze 12. It's a replacement/blend.

By the way, I fixed mine by having a tech refill the line.
