That looks like a screw / bolt that holds the coin mechs in place

Just set up the game. Plays perfectly with a few minor tweaks

Those are the perfect play rubbers from pinball life.

Plugs were out of the computer in the bottom of the cabinet, small part of the "t molding" on back box was bent over from the shipping material. Also bent the metal under the ring button a hair so it didn't scratch the glass. Came with software 1.21 with a born on date of 7/26

Mods - inner cabinet art, green rubbers, LED kit from pinball bulbs and the green plastic protectors.

Yes they are very secure for a home use environment.

Quoted from EricHadley:

My Hobbit won't come on, anyone have any ideas what to check for? I power it on and can hear the hum of the transformer, but there are no play field lights and the screens stay black. Let me know what you guys think. I opened a ticket with support too, waiting to hear back from them. Thx

Most likely a cord came unplugged. Re seat all connections going to the computer

Quoted from mbelofsky:

Where did you get the corner protector or did you make it?
I have not had a chance to search but are the leg protectors that come with the game sufficient or do people still use pincabs?

The silver protectors are the best because the legs do not rub on the cabinet. Do not use pincabs

Quoted from Ransom99:

Oh yeah... I forgot to ask last night (all that delicious turkey...)
Did you folks have a 2nd set of keys hanging just inside the coin door? They look like the set that opens the coin door but it's cut differently. I did a search through the manual pdf to see if there was a 2nd set needed elsewhere to no avail...

Those keys are for the backbox

Email the owner of pinball decals and he would make a set if you explain the game and the correct images needed
