AC/DC (Premium)
Stern, 2012Hello PinFans...
I have an AC/DC Premium on order. Should arrive in 3-4 weeks. I just need to finish paying for it.
Question: In your opinion... is it worth spending an additional approx $200 for the shaker, like the LE's?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Quoted from Spankey:I haven't! picked on up yet, but how is the shaker on AC/DC used?
To rock!
Quoted from RobT:No brainer. The implementation is excellent.
+1 !!
I was invited by a great Pinhead (Mitch) tonight to play his AC/DC Premium. He had installed the shaker in it. I totally agree, it really makes a huge difference, with music and all the modes interacting.
I'll be "Investing" in the shaker motor/mod in mine, when it arrives.
Thanks for all the great comments.

Shouldn't cost $200 and you can do better then that.
I'm definitely the minority, but after going through three of them from two different vendors, and having all of them either not work right or at all I will be staying away from shakers from now on.
All three needed the screw across the top tightened to not be incredibly and annoyingly loud and jarring. One never quieted down enough to use, the second did but always annoyed me it was still too much.
The third quieted down nicely and I can see why people might like them but I don't think it's that big of a deal. Of course my third one squeaks like mad so it annoys the crap out of me too. Also one of the holes on the top for the cover isn't threaded so I can't put it on at the moment until I retap it.
I'd much rather have the connector problems others are having, at least its easily fixed. Quality on these are terrible.
