It may well be the condenser that packed in....but if I was you ,I would get a second opinion from another Indy!

Surely if I had a blockage in the gas side of the aircon that was preventing adequate volume of gas getting to the expansion valve this would inhibit cooling, but wouldn’t all the air vents in the car then push out the same partially cooled air? I think my indi was implying I had a constriction in the gas system not a total blockage.
I was watching over the indi's shoulder when he did the tests... how would he determine gas level? He had relatively stable pressure on both his meters (whilst the aircon was running) but he "diagnosed" this blockage because the pressure on his "red" gauge was high and went slightly higher when the engine was revved and his "green" gauge went slightly lower. I don’t know if that means anything to anyone?
