No need to be rude. I'm thinking it's a finish I haven't seen mentioned yet (maybe I missed it?).
It looks like that "antiqued" finish that was popular in the 70s. They used to sell kits to give that look. It was generally green or yellow with brown streaks. That looks like the green version. My first 66's cabinet had been painted the yellow color. Why someone would paint perfectly good walnut with that stuff is beyond me.
Not my favorite finish. I'd rate it right there with pickled oak or contact paper on particle board.

It looks like a pickled blonde finish on some of the old cabinets. I think paint would be an improvement on some of them but some of them look kind of cool.

Well, actually I'm going to be picking this machine up on Saturday morning. it's all there. The issue is that it has a cracked bed... no biggie for me but that's a deal breaker for most folks.

Edit: apparently the first person in line responded that they decided not to get another machine but then referred them to me at least by name saying there was a guy named Steve in the bay area that would be interested. If it was somebody on here that was cool. Thanks.

The faceplate is not missing - WW machines have it all hanging out like that LOL!!

It's the same height as the regular WW - but not as long.

I'm excited for Steve to be getting that one so he can help me get mine restored.

Nice! Well, If I can't get it then I am glad the both of you are on it! It sounds like it will benefit the both of you!

Cracked bed and they failed to mention that in the CL ad?
