Will any similar compressor do.
I have a Weather King 10AJA4201that has a grounde compressor. The Air Handler is good. It just needs a well-deserved cleaning. The AC Tech remarked that it was so clogged it returned liquid back to the compressor and that may have been the cause for the failure. It's a R22 compressor which I feel I can get a hold of rather easily with similar characteristics to the condenser Unit nameplate, but is that enough to assure a good fit?

A grounded compressor usually creates Acid in the oil. That is a major clean up or it WILL take the replacement out in short order. Slugging liquid doesn't cause windings to ground!
At 21 years old replace the system

No way. A 21 year old R22 system with a burn out?
It's a lot more than just a compressor replacement. Any talk of a replaceable core suction line drier with the HVAC Tech? That should've been part of the conversation. And you know it will need virgin refrigerant, right? R22 is $$$.
Contactor, relay, capacitor, even ECM blower motor, I would say go with the repair. But a burn out?

It's over 20 years old and just blew burned oil and junk all through the entire system.
It's time for all new.
Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.
