What is the story on this Kitchen Aid washer?

newjersey.craigslist.org/app/3942...

Looks okay in the photos but perhaps has some mileage on it. I may go check it out today, anything in particular I should watch out for?

Not certain but that appears to be the model I bought in 1991.  KAWE760.

Variable water level.

4 temp combos (hot/warm, hot/cold, warm/cold, cold/cold).

3-speed motor.  Speed is tied to the cycles.

Agitation is medium or low motor.

Spin is high, medium, or low -- has the "stepped-spin" feature that starts at a lower speed, then progresses higher through the spin period, supposedly lessens wrinkling.  Final spin on Perm Press runs through all three speeds, 2 mins each.

Regular/Heavy.
Perm Press with cool down.
Knits/Delicate.
Separate Prewash.
Extra Wash which leads into Regular/Heavy (same as Whirlpool's Super Wash - 6 mins agitation, 2 mins soak, partial drain).

Sound insulation panel under the base.

Check if the agitator dogs are broken ... fairly common on any direct-drive unit with the auger-agitator, and is an easy/cheap fix.
