I'm experiencing a pesky problem I haven't seen covered here yet to my knowledge. My hobbit auto launches the ball about 35% of the time (not exactly scientific) and definitely a higher percentage of the time on the 2nd or 3rd ball. Poor second player gets his first ball launched before they even touch the machine. I have talked to Frank and he is checking with Victor, - I haven't called them back....yet. Any thoughts?

Thank you for thoughts - I agree with all of them. Attached are pics of the switch and it does lean a little to the outside but the ball still is able to depress it. I initially thought perhaps pitch of playfield - It was a little flat and I raised it to the 6.9 or 7 range. (Overplay real nice) No change. Trough Kicker was adjusted low and high - no effect. No ball movement. So I'm thinking at this point it's not mechanical but software related. I will say after a ball drains - end of ball - drop targets reset - I'm used to the sound but it is distinct - ball launches as soon as targets are set. I will send a video to JJP.

Other than this issue game is a blast to play - received the day before thanksgiving.
