Hi Folks,
i like to show my small Hobbit Mod here, this is imo a very helpful improvement.
When i play the multiballs at my Hiobbit, there was always a difficulty to get the balls under control next to the flipper fingers. The outlanes have a simple clamp, compared to my Indi which is having a metal plate at that position. The plate is stopping the ball by far better and because of this, the ball is not jumping around the fingers like in the Hobbit. So i made some modifications, with a extra plate (mirror plates) for each side, including 8 new posts.
What should i say, a complete new play in multiballs Some guys in the german forum like that as well, so i thought i might be a good idea to tell my mod story here as well. It´s easy to install and to remove, the final plates are a bit more wide than in the pictures...

Here are some pics:
