Commercial keg

I've just been given a commercial keg.
It's about 12yrs old or so.
It still has liquid in it, and when I put a some pressure on the ball stop it doesn't budge.

So, is this worth reconditioning to use as a keg? And if so, how do I go about the recondition and using it?

Or, is this better used as a brew kettle? And if so, how do I go about removing the top? And do I need to do anything else to it (besides sanitizing it) before using it?

Bring it with you tomorrow

There should be a fistful of threads that deal with making a keggle from a keg.

Darn, It was given to my dad initially, and it's still out at his place in WF.

Thanks Biermuncher

That's pretty much what I envisioned.
I see the spigot hole is just below the 1gal mark. That a good location to get most all the wort and leave the trub?
