She looks a bit rough, but likely could scrub up well depending upon how much effort one is willing to put into things.
Reach out to member "Bradross" who has done restoration work on similar Maytag WW.

Well, it seems to be in quite a bit better condition
In comparison to my two model 80s
In comparison to my two model 80s
Model 30WP
Looks better than average, remember these are getting close to triple digits in age. I've brought back ones much worse than this with ease.
BTW, this is a Model 30WP with the rare pump option.
Brad Ross has some great YouTube clips on restoring these.

Oooooh yeah okay I’m definitely getting it, I’ll be swapping
my model 80s with this one, as I’ll probably be able to make use of it more often as the seller said it is operational By the way, does this use similar sort wringer roller style to the model 80? As that way I would know I’m able to have some spares
And how is the pump activated? Does it run all the time?

"And how is the pump activated? Does it run all the time?"
Maytag wringer washers with pumps only were user activated.
Small lever near base of tub swings between "on" and "off" to activate pump.
Thing is pump or no all Maytag wringer washers would drain water from tub if hose is lowered towards floor.
Even on models with pumps Maytag recommended when wash day was over and machine drained via pump to lower hose in order to drain any remaining water out of sump.

Oh wonderful, now I actually do wonder
What kind of oil do they use in the gear case/transmission? As I’m curious to see if I can get it locally or does it use grease?

Everything you need to know has been discussed previously here in group and thus in archives.

does this use similar sort wringer roller style to the mode
The wringer rolls and mechanism is different to the original Model 80 but the entire wringer head swaps right into place. Most Model 80's I've seen have a newer Model 90/Model A/Model 30 wringer head on them.

As far as I know the ones that I currently have on my 90
Are original, I meant to say model 90, my mistake

Bad news
I found out that the seller is going to be keeping it which is a shame as they said they’re gonna be using it as their mailbox

Alright, I’ll try but the question is
I don’t know how much I should add on top because it was $250

Nevermind, $250 is more than twice the amount I would pay.
I scored a minty 30WP for $50 with a working pump that's whisper quiet and doesn't leak a drop of water. Got it from the original owner where it was parked in the same house since new, in the 1930's. Kind of weird being the second owner of an appliance that's almost 100 years old.

Prices
Remember that Adam is in Australia - $250 AUD is about $165 USD.

What a shame,
I was really looking forward to that machine, well at least that means I can now try to get my hands on a speed queen super 20
