I don't know if this thread has been don but it's raining here and I am bored. I was cleaning out the back of my games and found 250 tokens, movie stubs, manuals, quarters (up to $4.50) and in the back of TOOBIN'.................

Never been set up comes with the cardboard stand. I wonder if I can still get the T-Shirt?!?!?

I don't think you want to know what some people around here have found! I only found a really old Chuck E Cheese's token (from 1983 I believe) myself. You made off with a good haul.
 
I found an unopened Sega flyer packet on the inside of a Pengo back door once. It had about a dozen early 80's Sega flyers in pristine condition. I know a guy that found someone's homemade XXX tape in a game. It is known as "The Centipede Tape".
 
Found

I found $46 in cash in a poker game bill acceptor last week. New record for me. I found $21 in another one a couple days later.
 
So far the only things I've found in games was a burned out 60 watt light bulb in my Omega Race cockpit and the original owner's manual in my Bad Dudes in great shape. Haven't had the luck of some people here, then again I haven't found a dildo in a game either. I'm still laughing after reading that thread a while ago.
 
I found two old dusty throw pillows in the back of a ms pac. Im assuming the op used them to "protect" the two ms pac boards laying in the back.......I've found the original manuals for lots of my games lying in the back including T2, Galaxian, Pole Position, Operation Wolf, and a couple others..
 
The Best: 30 bucks worth of quarters in a Playchoice 10 dual that I bought for 25 bucks. That was a cherry on top of a sweet deal sundae.

The Mediocre: Some guy's phone number shoved in the memory slot of a MVS machine. Another attempt to hit on a chick in an arcade went down in flames.

The Bad: Discovering a Fatal Fury cart in place of a Bust-A-Move cart. Bulk buy off an op that decided to swap the carts while I went to get my truck. I don't understand why those guys have such a bad rep!

The Worst: All the wasps, dead rodents and mouse shit that is...unfortunately...par for the course. It's always really nice when mixed with years of soda that's been dumped inside the control panel/back door/coin door.
 
The best: $17 in quarters in a Super Strike game that I traded a spare Space Duel manual for.

The worst: Either the family of dead deer mice in the bottom of my Paperboy, or the live hornets nest inside the backbox of a Gottlieb Monte Carlo.
 
Quarters

Best find yet.. $68 in quarters out of 2 free games I scored on CL.. I was on vacation when I found the games, so I had a buddy pick them up for me.. Threw him some $$ for helping me out as I was 3+ hours away and the games were curbside.. So it just about covered what I gave him :)

That was the best score in 15 years.. Usually it's trash, manuals, broken glass, rat shit, etc..
 
the good: all manuals,recovery disk,software for pga tour team challenge, software for pga championship 3, inside pga tour cab



the best: 59 in quarters, another 3 in loose pennies etc. in a outrun(working) that i paid 30.00 for
 
62.50 in Quarters in a Contra cab

Box of 45ACP rounds in a Frogger

Bunch of dead and living Mice

Tons of different tokens

and

Box of Condoms in a rough Rangers cab (naaaa Just messing with you all)
 
Here is my finds:
dice
pictures of girls
mice turds
manuals
$30.00 in one cab.
old TNT amusements price lists
candy bar wrappers
bingo chips
hackey sack
Thats it of the top of my head

Inside my Capcom Vs SNK

I picked up a Capcom Vs SNK in a Dynamo cabinet. Inside I found a Street Fighter III Third Strike Manual, CD Jewel Case and CD, Street Figher 2 Manual, Capcom Vs SNK Manual.
 
Found rolling papers and a dried up dime bag of weed in the coin box of a Missile Command cabaret.
 
Picked up a Playchoice-10 yesterday with 7 extra PCB's that the seller had no idea of:
