Some of the refrigerator cables where cut. I don't know which cable is for 120v and which for 12v. I don't know if it has any missing part. At prent a lot of rust but none visible refrigerant leak. If I make it works then the next step could be to paint condenser and then the body but I don't what paints to use.. Your help and recommendations could be appreciated. Thanks

Apparently the wiring was cut to remove the refrigerator for whatever reason and it was left sitting for a long while. An absorption type refrigerator in excellent condition is a fire waiting to happen, that one is imo a bomb waiting to go off, all it needs is det. cord ( ac-dc, propane).

I love a good science project, but I would let this one go. That condenser is as bad as I have ever seen.

It looks like it has sat outside in the weather for a long time and that probably has destroyed the chances of it working, if it was working when removed. I think that was one was probably new in the 1970-80 years and it is highly unlikely that it could ever be made to work again.

Ditto what the others said. Toss it in the junk pile or buy a new cooling unit for it if the rest is usable.
There's no reliable way of visually determining if there is a leak anywhere and with that much corrosion it is quite likely there is one. Or will be as soon as you energize it.
The 120v cord will look like any common appliance cord, a black & white pair plus a ground wire sheathed as a single unit. It originally had a standard 120v plug on the end. Black is hot, white is neutral.
The 12v wires are +12v and a ground, but there is no color code standard for DC wiring.
