My wife picked up a vs. Super Mario Bros. upright a couple of weeks ago at a garage sale for my youngest son. It was in great shape, but the previous owners never set it to free play (requires setting DIP switches on the board).
Since I didn't hop on it right away, she tossed a handful of change on the table next to the game, and let the kids play.
Of course, a few days later they came to me and said they couldn't get it to play anymore. I found that one of the coin slots was jammed. So, I just took it apart, and found well over three dollars jammed in the mechanism.
The kids had fed pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters into the slot, and kept feeding it.
Did you know that a mechanism would hold that much?
Lesson learned: "Get around to it" a lot faster when it comes to games.
