RE: DIY Refrigeration
You can braze modern fittings on it, vacuum it down (using an old fridge compressor ironically) then refill it with R134a or a little bit of caster oil and propane (not recommended)

The r134a may or may not eat the seals out of just about everything, and the propane is slightly more flammable than the alternatives. (which is also surprisingly flammable)

My best suggestion would be to canibalize it for other projects. Old fridges do not insulate nearly as well as their modern counterparts and their refrigeration system is lackluster as well.

I'm using a 40's/50's era pump for a silent air compressor in the corner of the garage.
