This is the first mod of our 7 day event leading up to the Texas Pinball Festival and I wanted to make to make sure that all of you Hobbit fans had a chance to see what we created! Thanks for looking.

Matt

Very cool upgrade to Hobbit!
I woke up to this email and was probably one of your first couple customers.

Thanks so much for the support! Also, it is in the description, but wanted to make sure everyone knew that this is a full replacement apron to the factory one. (new custom metal underneath the wood as well as all of the electronics and wiring needed)

Yessir...I'm pretty sure it opens with the timing of the regular event hours on Friday evening

It looks great. One question, can the piece covering the shooter lane be removed? The Hobbit has a few skill shots so it's nice to be able to see the plunger.

Great question and the answer if yes you most definitely can remove that piece. I actually designed the metal apron to give you the same skill shot opening just like the original apron has just for this very reason. The wooden shooter lane piece is only attached with double side tape, but if you put it in the notes section when ordering, we can make sure and just put yours in the package as a loose piece to add later if you like! Thanks for the question as I'm sure others would have the same question.

Looks incredible

Thanks so much for all of the nice comments and all the support! This was one of those mods that just looked like it was supposed to be there from the beginning once we placed it in the game the first time. Aside from the practicality of having the screen in a better location to view while in play, cosmetically it just looks right! We are super excited about this mod as well as all the other things we have coming down the pipeline
