I had a similar, though less impressive, find last year. I was going to the park with my daughter and spotted a pinball machine dumped near the entrance (in a couple pieces). I did a triple take and then immediately called a friend to help me. It was a Bally Midway Spy Hunter. Much of it was in decent condition, though it clearly had been outside for about a week. The issue was the previous owner had literally torn the backbox off of the cabinet, and had snipped the two bundles of wires connecting the two (at least 50 color coded wires). So it required woodwork to mount the backbox back on, and rewiring. It sat it my garage for a few months before I accepted that I wasn’t making progress and I gave it to a friend. Anyway, yeah, people dump this stuff! My hobby dev project is a pinball one, so it felt very serendipitous to find one sitting on the side of the road.
