Does this sound about right?

Go back and read my first reply to your first post, the reason your pressure is high is because the condenser is
not doing its job. Clean the condenser, and make sure the elecrtric fan motor is working, or the fan clutch, whichever you have.
I tried, let us know how it works out. If they open your line to change the orifice tube, please inform them to pull a full vaccum on your AC system (to remove all the Oxygen) before they charge it again with freon. If they do not, the freon mixes with the Oxygen in the line and becomes corrosive, then you will be changing the compressor and all other related AC parts.
Trust me, I hope it works for you. Just trying to help, this is not technical, just the way they make more money. Been down that road. Ask a few simple questions and help the ol' pocket book.
