Once picked up a Firepower that was termite ridden, i didnt know till i got the game home and at the time couldnt figure out why the guy only wanted $100 for it. Termites dont like the external environment, they are subterranian.
This particular game had been stored under a house that was riddled with them and the head was resting on the timber house posts. Result was termites in the head only.
I took the game to a fumigation centre ( cost $100).. they then stick it in a container and fumigate. 2 days later i picked the game up.
Fumigation is completely harmless to all circuit boards etc so the machine was completely unharmed.
I dug all the empty timber out.. bogged it up, restored the head and wear on the PF and then sold on for $1400.
Ill take a termite machine all day every day... THEY ARE CHEAP!
