I just did a quick internet search and found a couple of condensers:
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/?Ntt=a+c+condenser $223.81
http://www.car-stuff.com/store/?N=11440+4294962129+1686+11921+9171 $199.56
A more extensive search will probably yield more.
Just search for an Oldsmobile 1972 Toronado.

> It has been difficult for people to find a replacement condenser for our GMCs. The GM part number for the pre-May 1975 model motorhome is GM Part number. 3014916. That is still a good part number. This fits a 1968 to 1972 Olds Toronado and is an exact match. I found one on the Internet at www.acpartsnow.com, their part no. 104-25360 for $123.50. Some sites might have them for even less. Post May 1975 GMCs take GM Part No. 3034647. An extensive search indicates that this part has been discontinued and was apparently only for the GMC motorhome. I have found that you can use the 3014916 but the fitting on the tube that attaches to the short hose leading to the separator/drier is the wrong sex and the tube points toward the engine. I bent the tube forward and I took the short hose to a shop and had them replace the fitting on the hose with the correct one to match the tube on the condenser.

An alternate to bending the tube is just to have a longer rubber hose made up with the proper fittings so that the hose can be connected to the unbent tube which will be pointing back toward the engine. Other then the orientation of that tube the condensor is the same size and shape.

Hi
According to the parts book the condenser was changed May of 1975. It
appears that a '77-'78 condenser will fit only if your coach was made after
May of 1975.
P/N prior to May was 3014916 after May it changed to 3034647
I have no idea if the changed condenser is interchangeable.

That is great! I didn't realize you had them. They were impossible to
find a few years ago when I figured out how to make the earlier model
one fit my 77
