Quoted from dgoett:

Opening up my new Hobbit today and first thing I'm greeted with.
Why are they not screening the backs? The one we got a month ago was screened.

That is strange...It looks like it was hit with a heat gun or pulled on...Hope this works out.

I can not get 3.0 on to my usb for update any tips??

Thx!

Quoted from LTG:

Assuming you followed instructions for full install. Try a different memory stick. USB 2 8GB or so should work.
LTG : )

I never have problems usually?

Any other tips

Quoted from pinballinreno:

So, you got the iso image and are having trouble making a bootable USB stick from it?
Use unetbootin or rufus to make the bootable stick from the iso image you downloaded.
Does this help?

I added a red spring to my plunger and turned the flipper strength up. Very satisfied with this small change to the Hobbit for big results .

#6422 5 years ago
Quoted from Jeekayjay:

I replaced my stock spring with a red one as it was way underpowered, but I find the red spring to be a bit much. Are you able to soft plunge well with it?
Also, what did you set your flippers to? What did increasing that strength solve for you?

I can still soft plung. Not always easy but way better than the limp stock spring. I believe my flippers are set all the way up to 30. I believe max is 32 don’t quote me on that . I alway have strong plungers and flipper on all my pins.

Now I have hooked my 12 inch
per-amped sub to the game ad WOW it is awesome!
