Predicta Holiday trash find!!

[captainmoody]

I found this today in Warren while visiting a friend! The people were taking this to the curb as we drove by.
The man and his son were still holding it and ready to set it down when I stopped the car!
When asked what he was going to do with it he said "you want it" when I replied "yes!" he told me to open the trunk as it was "getting heavy" Never before have I intercepted trash before it was set on the curb!
I even got the story on this one, It sat on the bar in their basement as a decoration for the past 10 years.
They decided to redecorate and toss the bar, stools, panelling, some furniture and the tv!
When I asked him how he got it he told me from a flea market. After powering it up I found it to be operational even! Looks like someone did some work to get it going though as there are a bunch of mylars in there now.
It's really hard to believe someone would just toss something as nice as this! I was just getting ready to purchase one of these that needed work from a friend, not now though, as I have a free keeper!
