I think what you get for $20.00 is a manual and a schematic - and possibly a
suggested wiring modification for keying your Argonaut!

$20 isn't expensive these days!  I'd give $30 for a owners manual for my DGM
SRT-1000 but I can't find one.  I did find the company's  address - and
guess what?  The company was still alive and kicking - but in another field.
I got my information from the company!  (I needed to know how to replace a
component and also get a list of keyboard commands.  The keyboard cost me
$1000 in 1984 and still works well.
