Thanks, Dave.    Problem fixed, my D gets comfortably cold now.  

Took it to the guys at BrakeMasters who've worked on my cars for 
years and are always great to me.  For a chain, this one particular 
store knows me and loves when I roll in driving something that isn't 
in their database ;)

The problem, as I suspected from the 6-second cycle of the 
compressor, was that there was almost no refrigerant.  Where it 
went, I have no clue because there don't seem to be any leaks.   
They tightened this and tweaked that and I get a 40 degree drop 
with R12. The other problem was that when EuroSvc charged it last 
year "they didn't vacuum out the moisture so the system wouldn't 
get cool enough."  I'm just quoting all this  since I admit I know 
absolutely nothing about auto A/C.  I've never cared if my A/C 
worked or not, but in this little low-to-the-ground car with limited 
windows it suddenly seems important for a desert summer.  By the 
time EuroSvc got to my A/C they were pretty fed up with working on 
the D.  They crank out Mercedes for a tidy profit but having to go to 
school on the D was more of a burden than a pleasure for them I 
think.
