A/C Condenser question

[Duodec]

Every time I have an A/C question I'm not sure where to put it, so this time since its the condenser and attached externally, here we are.

The COndenser from my car was stored for decades and got banged and squished quite a bit.  Its still solid and doesn't leak (pressure tested) but its got so much fin damage that the 8+ hours I've spent with a fin rake and duckbill pliers got maybe half of it.  The fins are openeing up and are mostly still 'there' but its never going to look good.

Am I better off getting a new one?  How is the quality and fit of currently available condensers?  I know you can get higher efficiency units that are better for R134a but I'm probably sticking with R12.  I'm concerned about getting china-made low quality, or having significant fitment problems like the aftermarket heater cores and evaporators (even Mexican made ones).

Thanks for info.
