Hi All,
My stern JP premium’s T-Rex started making a grinding noise a few days ago. El google didn’t point me to a related answer including searches across pinside. This game is not new, several years old and maybe 800 plays. It had been working great, and the TREX not notably loud until after I had the PF up to swap a light.

Any suggestions?
Up/down is fine, not noisy
I disassembled it and found nothing jammed, no wires rubbing, etc.
Here is a short video, glass off, of it moving loudly while in diagnostic mode

T-Rex is fixed, back to normal.
I’m not sure what the issue was but after I disassembled most of it, added a very small amount of lubricant to the mechanisms that make the movement happen and reassembled it the noise went away. Maybe something was just jarred out of alignment.

To each their own, but I love the T-Rex. The movement and the magnetic grab really add something IMO.

I also added two spotlights to brighten up the playfield a bit using the Comet Matrix lights.
