Quoted from Rarehero:

Hey guys, just got a Hobbit ...the ball likes to fly off the wire form on the right (as it whips around under the book). Has anyone worked out a physical tweak to prevent this, or is it merely a matter of dialing in the flipper strength?

I also bent up the inside edge of the wireform to make the "wall" higher, so to speak. This and the flipper strength solved most of the issue, but things still fly off the track now and then.

I think I turned down my flipper power, but I forget what it's at. I had balls flying off the ramps when it was higher. I can certainly backhand both ramps. I wouldn't call it "easy" per se, but I can do it fairly consistently and there's JUST enough power to get past the curve of the ramp.

Has anyone gotten an extra barrel to put on the third pop bumper cap? I've always felt that third one looked unfinished.

Quoted from DarkWizard:

I must have been dreaming 2 or is 3 now years ago when I was in on the pre-order. I thought someone was working on this mod, but since I now bought a BA edition, I can't seem to find the original discussion anywhere.

I guess I assumed at the very least Matt at Back Alley would sell something. This seems to be the one thing screaming unfinished to me.
