Last month I went through 2 Hollywoods and both played fast. I'm pretty sure both
had a 33V terminal, but kept it on 30V
I'm sure you have good rubbers on the flipper bats. It's strange that new bats would
crack. Now and then the ball hits the glass on mine, and also the ball has flown over the
flipper, so it's pretty active, but no sign of damage..
I'm sure the voltage can be lessened coming out the transformer if you feel that's best.
These guys (Digi-Key) should be able to help you out.. 1-800-858-3616
