Martin -

You found a very unusual model actually. Though this control panel was shared with the hugely popular entry level 80-series for 1983, this is a step-up 80 series which was standard with the white basket. This white tub really dressed up the machine I think. It was otherwise only seen in the Lady K and the Limited Edition electronic model. This is a rare model, but in Toast color to boot. Very cool!

Ad says "sale pending". If anyone is interested in this washer, I have three very similar models in Toast, I only want to keep one. They have the speckled basket and three fixed water levels instead of the infinite. I would be happy to send one or two of mine off to good homes ---- just send me a private mail here.

why it didn't trip the off-balance buzzer

I think in my honest opinion the reason it didn't trip the off-balance buzzer when it got off-balance-and it walked across the floor-the machine wasn't level-and it banged against the side of the cabinet-front, and it didn't trip the off-balance buzzer-either that or it wasn't solid on the floor-and it spun across the floor at top speed.
