Sharing as an fyi.. recently got a hobbit that smaug mouth was not working. Tried replacing the servo. No luck. Took original servo apart and lined gears back up. No luck. Took entire assembly apart and found the pcb was pretty torched. Was about 55 bucks for a new board from jjp and a new servo. Now smaug is back in action!

When I took the servo out the gears were frozen. I think the transistor must have kept trying to drive it until it burned out. Either way 50 bucks for a new one really isnt too bad.

Quoted from RhettDR:

Hey all - Has anyone had any issues with the Kili Spinner (Right loop)?
It sometimes works. It sometimes doesn't. Registers the whole game / other times it quits mid game / still others - it STARTS working mid-game.
In switch test - it shows the switch as CLOSED (Blocked).
This FEELS to me like an opto that is slightly out of alignment.
I just bought the game and drove it home - So - "Ship Happens"

Take a look at the connector on the opto board as well. Had a similar issue with mine and ended up being that the connector wasn't on perfect.
