Yeh, I got there already and it was set to yes already
I think it may be a timing issue...it dips it’s head over the ball and comes back up with it’s mouth open and closes its mouth as head is coming up...wondering if this is the issue?

Over time, we’ve all had various T-Rex issues, and I’m Amazed how many different things can go wrong.

You should at least make a post there with a link to this thread.

PS: nice write-up jorro

T Rex is awesome, but she wasn’t the most reliable when she was new and 30 years later she probably needs a rebuild. Have fun with that, it’s one of the more complicated mechs out there.

A lot of the time replacing the wireing solves the problems

Quoted from newovad:
This has happened to a lot of folks and, recently, to myself. You need to check the wires inside the gray tubing that runs from the T-rex coil under and around the collar on the playfield. My black wire was split in half. So, Rex could close her jaws in the upright position because the wires were touching. When she would bend down, the wires were not connected, so no more jaw action.
Folks on here have suggested just replacing both wires all the way from the coil to the underside of the playfield where it connects. That's the best course of action if you can't find an obvious split. Plus, if you do both, less worry for down the road.
