The switches all work, but the alignment of the T-Rex is off about 1/4-1/2" left of center with the center switch closed such that he is unable to successfully pick up the ball. How do you adjust to correct this?

Thanks!

It has to be your center switch. You can try re-aligning it so it activates at a different location or you may have to replace the center switch entirely. That was the issue with mine. The center switch had gone bad and was delayed in registering closure causing Rex to not align properly. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks for your response. The center switch seemed to be working perfectly, registering as the T-Rex assembly shaft aligned with the switch. The position of the switch body could not be altered. My only conclusion was that the entire assembly was not aligned properly with the play field. Thus my solution(hack, if you will) was to Dremel slots in the mounting plate which would allow rotation of the assembly to match the position of the saucer when T-Rex closed the center switch.
