What's up with this washer

[brianl]

Found this on North Jersey Craigslist this morning. What would one say the age of this is? Is it worth saving?

Looks like direct drive BOL. Maybe commercial? Maybe for parts, if you had a direct drive.

Yeah I figured. The control panel threw me off on the age of the machine.

This is one of the first DD machines with spin/drain, probably mid-80's. You can tell by the clothes guard at the top of the tub.

Early DD.

Early enough to spin drain.

It sort looks like the 14lb Whirlpool DD that I had in the late 80's.
