The legs underneath the machine become stuck from rust and corrosion. I had the same problem and all the repairman did was hit the legs with a screwdriver and it unfroze the legs and fixed the problem!!
My guess is that one of the three counterweights have separated from their support. Probably rusted away. 36 years is quite a feat. Today's machines would be lucky to 1/3 of that life. Sounds like its time to go shopping. Do you have an anniversary coming up? Ladies love washers for an anniversary gift.
On the transmission there are two shift arms. One shift arm controls the agitator and the other shifts to spin the cloths. If the washer has been making a "clicking" sound when it trys to spin, the solenoid that shifts the spin shift arm is not catching and the drum will not spin. The other possibility is the spin clutch is slipping and make a "grinding/ratcheting" sound. Neither, unfortunately are inexpensive to fix.
If you can describe the sound and when it occurs, I might be able to get closer.
Let me know.

you might have a broken pump belt go to www.repairclinic.com enter model number and scroll down to the red 100 click it and start looking for the pump part number 1480330. You'll have to lean this thing back far enough to see if it is your belt or maybe even go through the back of it.
it appears that you have a door switch problem. the door latches on these machines are equiped with a mechanical switch and if this switch disengages in any way, the machine thinks that the door is open, even if it's not.
the code that you see is actually a "dS", which stands for door switch.
check the door latch, which is where the door switch is located.
