So I started poking around inside my recently acquired 720 machine today.
I noticed a large brown paper bundle in the bottom of the machine. Curious as to what kind of garbage was included with the machine, I picked it up. It was somewhat heavy, and carefully wrapped/taped up. My mind immediatly ran through what it could be.
I take it to the workbench, and slowly begin unwrapping it. I couldn't believe my eye's!
There was a extra, 100% complete, NOS unused 720 controller carefully hidden away in the machine!
Here's a couple pics:

It never fails to amaze me what you find inside these old machines. :)
{edit} By the way, It is amazing how smoothly and solidly the unused stick turns, it is night and day different from the stick that is on the machine currently.{/edit}

Oh, I'll bet it's got a price... A high one, but a price nonetheless.

Now that IS a good find. I have occasionally found brand new unused Peter Chou power supplies wrapped up laying in the bottom of the cabinets of used games.

Usually all I find is a assortment of candy wrappers, misc. coins and tokens, and a handfull of redemption tickets.
This was certainly a change for the better.

Nice! That's like finding a Babe Ruth autographed baseball inside the wall of your home or something! Well, okay, not quite, but you get the idea. ;)
