Welcome to the forum and hobby!  That's a nice clean machine, good buy...you can clean the chrome on the bottom with Flitz, usually you can find it in local Ace Hardware stores or order from Amazon.

Welcome to the board! Nice machine.
To clean all of the surfaces. I like Windex with Micro-Fiber towels. May need an old toothbrush for the nooks and cranny's.
Once the Windex has removed all of the outer gunk. Warm water and Dawn dish soap. Polish with Flitz. Coat of wax and good to go.

Welcome to the forum, I'm kind of new here myself. And a very nice machine you have.  I have a 1970's model that I like to tinker with.

It is best to fill the machine and keep it full. Far less stress on the compressor if product area is full.

I know on my old Cavalier USS machine there was a very fine line on the thermostat between freezing and the perfect temp, we're talking an 1/8th of a turn on the knob, right near turning it off completely.  I'm sure the thermostat could have been on it's last leg, but it ran for about 6 years just like that.

       I agree, fill it up and walk away. That is a nice original machine with all original parts, I would be very confident that it is set up properly.
       Keep in mind the upper fan is used to keep temperature constant, if it spins slower than your new one add a few drops of oil down the shaft.
       You also have a very cool coin mechanism, obviously one of the earliest produced with not many parts that could go wrong.
When you remove the slug rejector you will see a very simple operation.
      Nice machine!  happydrinkers
