Went to see an argosy today. I want to know what would be a good deal.

Now for the info. Guy bought a storage locker with it in it. Says he was able to play it for an hour and now the ball does not get kicked into the shooter lane. So when I was there it turns on with all four players lit up with it being first players turn and player four has a score of 90. Turning on and off has no effect same state every time. Looking at the machine someone has already installed mylar around the pops and slings. So that makes me think the previous owner took a little care of it

On the scale of 1 (dumpster fire) to 10 (perfect) I would say the back glass is a 6 with some flaking. The play field is a solid 8 with just the regular dirt and ball swirls. Cabinet is a 6. Has the keys for back box and coin door. All plastics are there. Appears to be set for free play.

So is offering around $300 a good buy with the work that needs to be done? Or do i stay away.

So then does anybody have an argosy schematic?

Ok thanks, guys. You have tipped me to purchasing! Will see what we are truly in for tomorrow.

Got it for 275$. After opening it up found the schematics in the back of the cabinet! So now it's on to trying to get this up and running.

Hey thanks, I would post pictures but only had so much time with it before I had to head out of town for work.

As for back glass, I found that https://www.flippers.com/back4sal.html seems to sell them. And if I am to go by their scale, then it would actually be a 7.5ish
