I can't tell from the pictures if it has a truss rod to straighten the neck. I don't see a cover for one. You might ask.

Nice looking maple. Looks like a good deal but I will let someone who knows what they are talking about make that judgment.

Not maple, birch, painted bindings, faux flame finish. The condition looks to be very good. Getting the neck out is a bit tricky, but once done, fairly easy to reset.

Hell Marty, I can't afford the 185, if I could I'd certainly be looking at one of your rescues.

My archtop collector client has bought several Harmony guitars. I can make them playable (fix the nut, lower the action, fit the bridge to the curve of the top) and I don't mind taking his money to do what I can, but they just aren't worth the time or money. The whole "no truss rod" thing kind of kills it. When those necks bend that's it. Do you really want to spend a couple hundred dollars on a neck reset for a $185 guitar?
If Marty has something in your price range that's set up well then I'd suggest that. I wouldn't buy something on CL that I know will need major work to make it playable.
