No! No Debbie McGee pics! My god, the horror.

I found this etched inside Boot Hill, might be nothing but would love to know what it means. Might be just a reminder for pinout for one of the connectors or a message from the bloke who built or operated it

never found anything exciting in any of my cabs but what I did find in one cab for me was epic

I found the original purchase receipt for a cab when it was brought NEW in the coin box

Excellent post! on the last cab I bought I found Chicken poop inside... but the funny thing about this is the game says Chicken Fight like a Robot!! :D

Another time we found a used condom in a House Of the Dead 2 DLX -_-

Over the years quite a few odds such as: a few pounds in 'new' ten pence pieces, a 'vintage' 'pool played here sticker', some battery operated alarms, extra redundant psus laying inside, some pcbs (raiden, trojan, super space invaders 91).

Mainly though just bad repairs, silcone filled hv suckers that try to kill you by arcing over, psus held in by one screw, pcbs held in by no (0) screws, monitor transformers held in by no (0) screws, pinball 50v coils with the wires held on with sellotape only :) Mains cabes twisted together and covered in electrical tape, three fuses soldered in parallel and inserted in the holder. Its all good fun at the end of the day if you have time to kill.
