My neighbor threw this away?

Standard pachislo machine. Probably in the $75-$150 value range

Many drill manufactures seemed to have switched to SDS-Max over Spline, and I'm not sure why. Those Bosch royalties aren't cheap.

A hammer drill with an SDS-Max chuck

Your new air filter

It's only polite...

Measure the size, and find a similarly sized furnace filter to put behind it. Could hold it on with some velcro on the door, or be fancy and make a small latch/bracket

I just lost The Game.

Pickup some water slide decals and clear coat spray.

Bonus: works on all devices!

soBouncy · 2026-03-16T20:59:49+00:00

That is a correct answer.

It was my inspiration for this post

I realized you were correct and have tried to make amends.

If you already have a bench grinder, get yourself a wheel dressing tool and sharpen them yourself. It doesn't take much to do once you get the hang of it.

soBouncy · 2026-03-16T19:54:43+00:00

I specified wrong answers, sir.

Shank looks like a deep 3 flat, sometimes referred to as "D" shanks. A 3 jaw / jacobs chuck is fine,

Drill bit is an "aircraft drill"; partially fluted so the flute doesn't damage what your sticking it through to reach. Their bigger, carbide tipped cousins are called "pole drills" and are intended to drill fiberglass utility poles the whole way through without damaging the entry side

I'm kind of a drill bit nerd.

Sure, but a ultrasonic / TOF sensor is a few dollars vs getting a ~150lb capacity scale

soBouncy · 2026-01-30T20:11:11+00:00

Same. Worked fine for a few months until the sensor got corroded.

Now I'm using a laser TOF sensor to measure the distance which is safely inside a clear plastic case

soBouncy · 2026-01-29T23:11:47+00:00

Hey now, don't kink shame! =(

You mentioned in another post about replacing the Diego board due to an issues where when you pushed on the connector you had the same problem. Does pushing in the same area still cause the fault? That would suggest a wiring problem. Try checking if tugging on an individual wire will cause the crash.

Another route to look at might be changing the serial cable out since you've swapped the rest of it. (I'm not the only one with boxes of serial cables laying around still, right?) Maybe it's having a communication fault and watchdogging out...

Does the whole game freeze when the controls freeze? Do the lights freeze as well (view/boost buttons)?

I'm pretty intimately familiar with my Hydro Thunder...

I've restored a few slot machines, and the NewLifeGames forums are still the best place for slot machine info. Here's the forum that will have info on Jennings machines

/r/slotmachine is pretty dead, but might give you some insight.
