Here's one heck of a story from Pinside - http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/would-it-be-worth-buying-these-100-bodies-70s-era-to-strip-for-parts

Unbelievable beginning, and interesting to see how this will go.  Pins do not get much closer to their ending than this.

Wow, what a sad waste

[PinPal]

Wow,, thanks for sharing, allot of those games would have been worth saving. Sad to see them in that state.

[Crashramp]

Those photos are very depressing to see. Some beautiful games there in their day.

What a waste.  Hopefully at least some can be brought back to life.

It is a waste, but it was common to see these titles thrown in the tip after trying to give them away - circa 1990's. These could have been in a building for years and then moved outside (if I understand it correctly). someone did buy them and the parts will be circulated back into the hobby. Fantastic outcome !

no pcb overheating there I would suspect

This happens to women over 45 when their husbands start spending time with the new 25 yr old big boobed blonde secretary. Out in the cold they go.
Sad but just a repeating cycle in todays "everything gets thrown away society". Sad. Hope someone picks up the old gals. Still a lot of lovin in them.

There's always something that can be saved.

Interesting to know what he paid for it all. Just for interst sake. What would u pay for a machine to be parted out. $100?  Some how he would of had to work on a number maybe thinking 10 or so would of been keepers. Hope he comes up  with a full list at some stage of what was in there.

[Strangeways]

Bulk deal would be lower than $100 a piece unless offered. I'd say the owner would have given away the machines outside. The effort of moving them would be costly, then you need somewhere to put them. If it were close to me, I would have made an offer if I knew exactly how many were there.

Last time I had to dump a car.. I paid them to take it away!!

Wouldn't give more than a carton of beer for the lot... heads sold off eons before.. bodies in the snow pretty much constitutes worthless which is why the owner chucked em outside in the first place
