It probably has a broken wire going to the out-of-balance-switch, this was a common problem on this generation and easy to fix with 18" of flexible wire.
You can move this machine all over the country without shipping braces, but you can not lay it on its side at all without the shipping braces, I would suggest finding a way of keeping it up-right when you move it.
[ tilting it on a hand truck will not hurt at all ]

Yay You Got The Machine,
You don't need a special tool to get he Set Drawer out, just pull it out to the stop and pry a little with a small screw driver, see picture #1 2nd picture is what my 15YO looks like and I have not removed it in at least 5 years.
You will not see a broken wire going to the balance SW, the conductor breaks inside the insulation, just bypass the out of balance sw near the board and if it spins replace the wiring, leave plenty of slack and use very flexible wire.
It is not possible to have broken the shock spring moving the washer unless you threw it off the truck or let it fall down a flight of stairs, LOL
How old is this washer ? Do you think it had a lot of use ? It looks really good overall.
