Hey folks
Picked up a Hobbit at the weekend and Smaug's mouth doesn't work (knew that when I bought it). He moves left and right so I'm figuring that it's not a power issue, but he won't move in the test menus or in game. Saw this thread https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/hobbit-smaug-mouth-motor-issue.44475/, but that motor is no longer available (https://hobbyking.com/en_us/hobbykingtm-hk15288a-analog-servo-bb-mg-9kg-0-20sec-51g.html). Does anyone know what the important metrics might be for me to find something that would be equivalent ? And are sizes broadly similar?
 
The wires might need swapping around if it doesn't work out the box. I had to do it with Frankenstein.
