is it possible to retrofit an old fridge to use modern refrigerant?

i’ve got a very pretty old fridge in my shop. 1960’s GE. worked great for years to keep beverages cold, but now it only cools down a little bit and then keeps running with the occasional cycle off, but doesn’t get cold, just cool. i suspect that it lost some charge from one of the two schrader valves on the back. i’m not a refrigeration tech (marine engineer here), i know enough to know not to mess with it myself. but i’d like to know what type of person to try to hire to fix this, and what to ask them to do. thanks.
