Just scored this awesome draft box off of Craigslist for $300. What's next?

So, I just found an amazing deal on Craigslist and got this for $300:

It needs a new compressor and some cleaning.

A) Does anyone have advice on how to go about getting it **** n' span, or compressor-related advice?

B) Any ideas or advice on how I can trick this bad boy out?

Many thanks! I'm super excited about this project and how it will enable me to really take my homebrew to the next level.

What model/manufacture Is it? Why do you think you need a new compressor?

It's a True TDD-3... the lady I purchased it from said it did. I turned it on and it seemed to chill, though...

Leave it plugged in and see what happens. I bought a Bev air that was not working. It kept kicking off every time it started running. I searched prices on everything from compressor to thermostat to relays, I took off the inner back panel and the condenser fan was stuck. I gave it a couple spins and freed it up and it has worked ever since. I bought it at auction, and don't know what the original owner thought was wrong, or how much he thought it would cost to get a repair, but it ended up costing nothing but my time to fix it.
