Title: Best way to drill MPU lock
Post by: Phan000 on October 18, 2022, 06:58:53 PM

Got a new Bally Maverick with an MPU lock.

Works fine, battery is good.  Was thinking it would be good to see the condition of the battery, as it may be original.

What is the safest way to drill this lock?  Would hate to jar anything loose.  Machine looks brand new, though it was made in 1992.

Thanks

I would order some keys from a slot parts supplier. There probably aren't that many different keys. Maybe just a few. I lacked a key on my Bally and found that my IGT S2000 key worked on it. Drilling should be a last resort.

Cheap tubular lock picks usually work. Or buy yourself a lock saw.
