I have a manitowoc r-12 system 200 I can't get to make ice what can I do

Have machine serviced if r-12 and low or no freon and since no information as to how problem is with machine --you will have a very hard time to find r-12 to charge and if found will be expensive --a service company would be able to advise if repairing and retro fitting or replacement is more feasible

First, this us a very old system and probably needs to be replaced if it really is an R12 system. The unit is probably at least 40 years or more old since they stopped producing R12 about 1970's. If your manitowac ice machine is usable still, it probably has lost its charge and will need to be refilled with a suitable refrigerant. I actually still have a jug of R12, but I generally charge systems with the only substitute still available R420 if you can find someone who still sells it. I saw that both refrigerant were being phased out and purchased a couple of jugs and only have a little left. My suggestion if you want this ice machine in operation again take it to an ice machine repairman and have him repair it. Good luck.
