Heres what was in that mess

SpartyMAC and I picked up a Mario Widebody for him and it had a ton of porn pictures in it. It was creepy hauling this out of this ladies house knowing it had her husbands porn stash in it.
 
A buddy of mine bought a Centipede cabaret at auction 5 or so years ago and we finally broke into a coin box today (it's been locked as long as he has owned it) and found the following:

- Kids tennis racket (like from a McDonald's or Sonic kids meal
- Some kind of a conversion cable (one side has a small end the size of a PS/2 connector and the other end is larger and flatter like a really big round USB cable)
- $3.50 in quarters
- Vendor notecard to record weekly cash (quoted below):

Centipede May
List Date emptied and Amount
5-23-93 $9.25
5-29-93 $7.25
6-06-93 $4.00
6-19-93 $7.00

You never know what you'll find in a game. As least it wasn't a dead rat, puke, or worse!

So glad I never found any dead animals. Found plenty of insect nests, but all were dead or dormant. Stunt Cycle had a terrible mouse nest and mouse chewed wiring, but no dead mice and it cleaned up decently and worked after I reconnected all the mouse chewed wires.

Star Wars cockpit (paid $150) had over $100 in quarters inside, none of which was in the cashbox.

STUN Runner had nearly $100 clanking around in the subframe as well.

However my Atari 600 lb. cockpit luck ran out with my Pole Position, it barely coughed up $9.

Atari Basketball paid $25 rough and dead at auction, had nearly that in quarters inside, parted out for nearly $300 (only after I gave up on fixing it). A few other $25 auction specials have yielded quarters in amounts significant compare to their buying price.

Extra question kit in a Trivia game.

Tons of business cards.

Other than that, a few old coins and tokens, neo geo mini marquees, manuals for other games.
