Both issues are on the two Orc switches that haven't been triggered recently. Hence the stuck open.

Tests - Switches - Matrixed, push the Orc face leaf blade switch, then under the playfield the switch on the side of the Orc assembly to see if it registers on the screen.

If they don't work then you have a broken wire on both, whether you see it or not.

If they both work, then concentrate in getting Orc to pop up. Pull out the high power inter lock on the coin door, in Tests - Orc up - hit the start button - does it pop up ? try a little ? or nothing ?

If it tries but doesn't get it up. Try viagra. HaHa, I kill me. Then make sure the Orc thing goes up and down smoothly. If it does. Then loosen the nut on the bottom of the assembly and spin the rubber stopper up a little and then tighten the nut. That should do it.

If the Orc doesn't go up and down smoothly, then remove the whole assembly and loosen screws and hold ends in and tighten, see if that helps. Otherwise spend a lot of time loosening and adjusting screws and assembly until he does go up and down smoothly.

Call jjp and let them know you miss LTG : )

Which if the beast doesn't pop up during game play. Then you are back to the real problem.
