WIlliams Argosy troubles

As is usual, I have yet to get a pinball machine in decent condition. They look ok on the surface but have troubles deep inside.

In the case of the Williams Argosy, I literally could not tell how it looked inside as the key had been lost. In most cases people simply drill out the lock and get on with life, but I have a locksmith I know and he agreed to take a look at it - confident it was a 5 minute job.

After an hour of work, he said he needed different tools and would be back next week.

While waiting, I turned it on - nothing. I opened the back and tried to move things around manually, there is a big wheel in the back - the player motor responsible for connecting things to the different players when playing multiple. I moved it around but could not do much.

We wait for a key...
