A/C compressor noise
My Bryant compressor started making some noise. It's approximately 25 years old. R22. High pressure is 225psi and low is 69psi. 93° outdoor temp.
Is it shot?
If it is can the condenser be replaced or do I have to replace the whole system?
Here is a video of the noise it is making.

Thanks in advance for the help.

We don't discuss system pressures per the directive from the DIY admins. A trained HVAC tech should be interpreting those pressures and acting according.

By the high low pressure.... and the sounds it's making the compressor does have a problem. Possibly a valve problem. If the evaporator inside is in good condition.... a replacement condenser using R-22 should still be available. However, with the age..... it might be time to upgrade both the condenser and the evaporator coil with units using the newer refrigerant.
