Don't know if it counts but my Star-Jet I'm piecing back together we all know and love was parted out and the cabinet was trashed. When I knew I was buying it I immediately had him dig the backbox light board out of the actual dumpster because I knew I would never find another one of those, thankfully the trash hadn't been picked up yet.

Not exactly the trash, or free, but did save it from then-imminent non-existence.

Quoted from pintoys:

picked up a nice PF this AM from a vendor at a Flea Market,who himself found it in a dumpster at a storage facility. Sadly he only salvaged the PF and left the rest of the game. He says it was a woodrail cab,but maybe he is wrong. It was a Gottlieb Flipper...

Flipper (and ONLY Flipper) came in both a woodrail cabinet and a wedgehead cabinet as it was smack in the middle of that transition, so it definitely could have been!
