Quoted from halpain24:

Never mind. Figured it out. But time for a little rant. The issue is that the rubber stop for the coil is missing. It is not anywhere in the cab either. That's why it worked on and off I guess. While under the play field I noticed the majority of the screws to level the drops had fallen out. I know it's not a major deal just don't understand why the nuts weren't tightened at factory. Then I noticed the E for elf drop targets little coil that lets it raise was hanging. The screw in the middle of the assembly had worked its way out. This one required me taking the drop assembly out and completely apart to put it back in. It just amazes me that all of these screws have worked their way out due to never being tight. Now it's all fixed aside from waiting for a rubber stop. But it is definitely frustrating getting an 8500 pin that seems like it was rushed together. Hoping I don't have to tighten every screw on the machine eventually.

Hmmmm. I'm still trying to decide if I am going to buy a Hobbit. This all worries me a bit. Keep us posted if you have anymore issues.
