I found about 2 pounds of tootsie rolls and peppermint candies all melted together, along with a dead mouse, and some prescription glasses inside a Wizard!!

I found a giant dead rat in an arcade machine once. Just the body of the thing was about 12" long.

To be fair, the OP wants to know the most "unusual" thing. Not "strange" or "weird".

I don't know what it is about mice and Pinball machines, but I have cleaned a mouse nest from the pf of 2 of my games. To be clear, I purchased them with the nests in, the mice didn't set up homes while the games were mine.

I had a few mud dobber nests in one game before.

Caribbean Cruise was one of mine that had a mouse nest!

Parts from another game......which I didnt know until after a week of trying to find where they may have come from.

Not "unusual" but "annoying"........

I found a shaker motor inside my LOTR. Granted I knew it was there when I bought it, but none of my other machines have a shaker motor, so that makes it quite unusual for me.

Funny you both mention that, my Night Moves had a prior mouse nest in it as well. Must have something to do with the cab being in the floor and no legs to climb.
