    possible, but hard to determine without testing by a qualified a/c mech.

    CLASSIC symptoms of a condenser airflow problem, often non-functional condenser fan(s). System *could* also have low charge, based on your "cooling a little bit" description, but that would be a separate problem.

    I'd have put my money on the condenser cooling fan - how many are there? One or two? Hang on, I'll go take a peek.....

    I think I can see two fans down there. If the fan that exclusively cools the condenser has failed, it might be the cause of your problem.
