Hell a good cleaning might do them a world of good. I'm always amazed that people were too lazy to wipe down cabinets once in a while.... The black stains are just were they constantly touched the cabinets. GROSS.
All of that stainless steel counter top area is a real luxury.

Looks Like:
There might be some wear-through and some rust in certain areas - one of the things you have to be careful about with metal cabinets is not to use door edges to open and close things. You need to use the handles, so you don't wear through the paint. This, of course, is also a good idea with finished wood cabinets, though those are a bit easier to repair than are metal cabinets.
It also looks like the house they're in might have been abandoned or unoccupied for some time. This could mean wiring problems with the appliances, if critters have been chomping on insulation.
However, a good cleaning would work wonders, and perhaps those dark areas are just schmutz. People are such lousy housekeepers nowadays! I bought an ultra-rare Farberware lid at the thrift store today, and I didn't waste any time washing it until I had hit it with oven cleaner to dissolve all the dried-on food and grease. It's like new now - but how someone could let it get that filthy in the first place is beyond me.
P.S.: $1250 isn't so bad for the number of cabinets included. Take a trip to the nearest DIY store and see what you get for that kind of money. Like everything else, the price of used stuff has just risen, that's all.

"I could work with it!"
So could I, except for that pink liner in the reefer.
Pink refrigerator liners are only okay if your name is Iola.

Well...
I hate to admit it now, but I rather like a pink interior. More personality than white, but not too dark. I guess you can call me Iola instead of Rita, eh?

That's GUYola to you, buddy!
My '57 Combination's pink liner, IMO, serves to punctuate the glamor of its revolving shelves, radiating 120 watts worth of pastel hued lighting out into the laundry room every time the door is opened.
However, a pink liner paired with a turquoise exterior is downright hideous. Those gaskets are totally shot too, and it could be very difficult to find replacements, even at Modern.
I'm not a fan of pink appliances and would never own any, but I do like that the plain white exterior of my Combination belies the shocking result of pressing on it's full-width foot pedal.

That's another great kitchen, but the problem with these old cabinets is you'd have to have the space to install them in a workable configuration (obviously you can rearrange them, but you might just be missing that ONE piece to make it work).
Agreed, just some simple cleaning would have made that a much nicer kitchen.
FYI Beverly Archer, aka Miss Iola Boylen, was scarred by pink. Orange is the closest she'll ever get these days.
