On agitator machines of this era, a washer that fills and agitates but refuses to spin usually has a failed lid switch or a worn drive coupler. The coupler is a sacrificial part designed to fail before the motor or transmission does.
Owners can check the drain hose is not kinked and that the load is balanced. Replacing the coupler or the lid switch means the machine unplugged and the cabinet opened, which is technician work on a mains-voltage appliance.
