Hi Randall and welcome to the forum 
Well done, what you been gifted is a standard 128K Microbee. The DIN plug lead has monochrome Composite Video (RCA), 2 x 2.5mm Cassett for In & Out and a Power input plug. Power of 9v or 10v for best operation and up to 12v, but the voltage regulators can get VERY hot at 12v and can blow the Tantalum capacitors near the voltage regulators.
Yes you can plug a Gotek directly into your Microbee and you just need to copy what ever disk images you want that you can download from our file Repository (you need to request access to it via https://microbeetechnology.com.au/forum/thread-15.html All the Docs you need for you 'bee are there also.
Retrobrighting works well on the Microbee cases and keytops.
There is a good chance some or all the keyswitches dont work or have probs, unfortunately a common problem of all old Microbees. If needed just ask in the forum for help and the various solutions to fix can be discussed.
