Jon, this may be a WCI Frigidaire.
Hummmmm... it has a GM front panel on it.
Very uncommon control panel though! Looks like it has the GM badge on the console with the three boxes, instead of the single box for the 'F' used by WCI. (example below). Maybe it is very very late? Dial looks set up similar to the Holy Grail washer.

Later WCI with the 'F' in the center.

Frigidaire!
Yes that the real one. I was able to tell by looking at the lid.

why does it have a mini water setting?
Mini...
is just the lowest water setting. It's VERY low. You have to use the slow agitation speed or else the machine will bounce around. It's enough water to wash a few small items.

Here's a complete Whirlpool set in the same area, in excellent condition according to the photo. If someone's making the trip, why not pick up all three?

alr2903 - sorry, I don't have literature for the machine you speak of with all buttons. I wish I did!
I only have this picture I saved of model WEG. IIRC, I think these belong to a neighbor of gansky's.

mini water level
I don't know if all the two or three speed 1-18s had it but the Elite washer I had in teracotta red would not allow a high speed agitation until the water level was set at low to medium. the older models I had from the earlier 70's did not have that feature and if you used the high speed agitation with a mini load, all the water would splash upward on the edge of the inner tub. That would cause some posible leakage and rust down in the trasnsmission.The newer ones had the slower delecate agitation for lower water levels.I found this out truly by accident when I got a full Frigidaire kitchen free in terricotta from a dealership in Florida.I hooked everything up and had a mini load of my swimsuite and towels. I set it for high agitate/high spin and questiones the agitator going slower. I played around with the water level and saw it nspeed up after about 1/3 up the agitator.Great feature beautiful set. The refrig was the one with the answering/radio/recorder. the range was the TouchNcook with a black front and full see through window door.I truly loved them all!

You can also tell it's a GM...
...by the front of the cabinet. No access panel; the whole front is uniform and secured by the three screws at the bottom

comment and a question on Pdubs WEG model
First of all that has to be the most beautiful 1-18 washer I've ever seen I've never seen a 1-18 with those kinds of timers before. Now the question, How do you work the timer does it automatically move when you press the start or stop buttons?

Only a photo, not my machine!
I wish this was my machine but it's not.
From what I understand you choose your options by pushing the desired buttons then push the START button next to the status indicator dial. I'm assuming to pause the machine you'd push the STOP button and to reset the timer you'd push the CANCEL WASH button and this would probably activate a rapid advance to the end. This is all just a guess. Your mileage may vary.
Oh how I wish I could stumble across a set like these.
