Kitchen Large Electric Appliances - I killed it! :( Can it be fixed??

I have a 1959 GE refrigerator that was being used as a keg-erator. The freezer section (in the same space as the refrigerator much like a dorm fridge) was one massive block of ice. Thinking I was doing good - I started to chisel away the ice - unaware that the coolant lines went through the metal housing that forms the freezer space. Long story short, I hit the freon line (very small hole) and the hissing began.

Can this be patched? What are my options to get this fridge operational?

I am assuming mine is a '59 becuase of this image I found on the web which was captioned with that year.

Thanks you in advance for your help!!

not economically fixable if you have to pay someone. and if you had the tools/parts/knowledge to repair it yourself i assume you wouldn't have broken it.

While I deserve the "hey dumba$$" response I am still interested in what it would take to repair the fridge. I clearly wasn't aware that the thin metal enclosure for the freezer portion had the freon flowing through it or I wouldn't have been so careless.

Back to the question. What is necessary to repair the unit? I plan to take it to someone but don't want to get taken for a ride. Can this small hole be patched? Does the entire piece need to be replaced? What would it cost to have the unit recharged with coolant after it is repaired?

Thanks.

No Pro...but trying to patch the little puncture, without blocking the passage or causing further damage, then evacuating and refilling...IF you can find someone old school enough to attempt it, would probably run $200-300. For that, you could probably haunt a few used appliance places (which I know they have plenty of in VA) and find something perfect for your needs.

Thanks for your fast response. Hmmm, the cool factor is worth maybe $100 or $200 but that's pushing it. It suck b/c I love this fridge. Oh well... it can still be a fallout shelter.
