My first roadside pickup / what would you do with a video slots machine?

My father-in-law actually played it for a half hour or so just standing in the garage. Pretty nice Wells Gardner monitor in it, although I don't know how much burn-in would be noticeable with another game going on it. Such an odd thing to just toss by the roadside... but it was in front of a pretty nice house, so might be folks who may not be interested in restoring/selling/messing with stuff like this.

Hopefully they weren't temporarily placing it outside to let it air out...

Nope, it was curbside, the universal "I'm done with this, but someone may want it" spot. Usually reserved for used Little Tykes play equipment and random bits of scrap metal (seriously, scrap metal will be gone within an hour. It is freaky.)

Some interesting options... only thing I know, it is raining today, so I am glad I went for it yesterday.

One weird thing, there is a "Tec-Key 2000" (some sort of wireless receiver, like a garage door) wired into it, seems to go to the reset switch. I wonder what purpose that would serve?
