Looks like a sweet find but the seller fibbed a bit to you. I could see from your pic of the data plate that it takes R12 refrigerant. R12 was phased out in 1994, so your pride & joy is at least 14 years old. R12 is not a problem, it works very well. Even if you should have a refrigeration problem down the road, there are replacement refrigerants that work very well in older systems - like R409a. When it comes time to replace the door gaskets, don't be shocked when you hear the price of those things. They are proud of those little strips of plastic. Shop around before you buy.
Later, THE ICEMAN
