I felt like a feild medic trying to save various parts today.

So today when I went to go help somebody move a game they bought. That's when I discovered that the previous owner had a bunch of parts on the side of the house which or left for a couple of weeks, we just had a snow not everything has snow on it but I grabbed as much as I could unfortunately this is what survived. I'm really confused on some of the items in the pictures some of the wiring harness and some of the parts and the latter pictures that you'll see. I'm also confused as to what type of game this monitor would have gone to.

More pics. The sad thing is I know the previous owner although he was a nice guy , he was a former KLOV member and I soon learned about his past I decided to distance myself. It just makes me sick to think that this stuff was just sitting there rotting. I'm glad that I saved what I could.

Yes it was MKeller. When I first met him I thought he was nice but didn't have a lot of follow-through. He did help me a little bit with the basics of what the components were in a cabinet. I met him through a friend of a friend. But as time went on I found that I needed his help less and less and I realize that he got games to the point where they were just running. Although he has good understanding of things like monitors some of those repair jobs were like Frankenstein Project. When I discovered about his past with Bob Roberts I encouraged him to pay his debt and make amends. This was probably a little bit over a year ago. He said he had plans to do so and felt bad that he had not taken care of it sooner. But as I learned he didn't take care of those debts. When I saw his username on Bob Robert's bad trader list that's when I distance myself. Flash Forward to today I had a 3rd friend who bought a game from the first friend, and when I went over there he had told me that MKeller had left alot of stuff at his place and he wanted it gone. He said that Mkeller had claimed he was going to pick it up for several weeks but had failed to do so. I also learned that he still owed people money, in fact he still has one of my Neo Geo carts.
I'm so thankful to KLOV and Bob Roberts sites if I hadn't visit the site and even done a simple search here, I would not have known of his background. Again, though he seems like a nice guy and he's got some skills, his greatest downfall is his lack of follow-through which only upsets and make people want to be distant from him. BTW I haven't seen him in a few months .

This is a great free haul of stuff to find in the snow :D And I don't think you need to worry about guilt by association.
 
Cryofeeezing?

Storing stuff in the snow? Are you yank collectors into cryofreezing your projects/parts to be restored at a later date? Lol
 
I could use this for one of my Williams EM pinball machines and would be great to have but at the same time I'm trying to save for more important pieces. The struggle!

Kudos to you for saving all of this stuff. Good pickup!

OtakusArcade I sent you a pm, maybe we can work something out that could benefit us both.
 
Curious on what the other side of your atari p/s looks like (photo attached).

Like ZOOM in real close with crystal clear 100000000 mega pixel clarity! :) thanks
