Clutch wont engage. Radian 600

Hi, I may be buying a 1982 Radian 600. The current owner says the clutch does not engage. He uses 20/50 Valvoline motorcycle oil, has ridden it since 2000 with no problems but now this, the clutch doesn't engage. He replaced the clutch cable with no results.

Any suggestions?
