I apologize for the repeat posting but my first post was a reply buried in a sub-forum and I figured no one would see it.

I went to install a shaker in my TWDLE and ran into a problem. The only lead in the cabinet in the area of the shaker is a two pin connector labeled "shaker motor board ground J3". There is no seven pin connector for J1 like I am used to. My Rev B shaker board does not even have pins on the J3 location. Is there a new Rev of shaker now that only uses the two pin connector on J3?

Thanks

Thank you for the reply.

I just double checked the whole wiring harness from the coin door back to the middle of the cabinet. The only other connectors besides the 2-pin "J3" is a 9-pin Molex, a 3-pin Molex, a 2-pin Molex, and three female spade plugs. None of these will properly connect to the 7-pin connector on the shaker motor.

Has anyone else had an issue like this?

I understand all this, I have 5 other Stern games with shakers I have installed. All the others have a 7-pin flat connector that connects to the shaker board. On my TWDLE the only appropriate available connector is the one I spoke of, a 2-pin labeled "shaker motor board ground J3". That is the only shaker board interface connector in my game. There is a location for a J3 plug on the shaker board, but none of my other games use that plug, and the Rev B shaker board I have does not even have pins populating the connection point.

I guess I should call and talk to Stern. I was just wondering if any body else had seen this issue.

Thanks

Got it figured out. I am missing the J1 harness. In my older Stern games it was included in the game wiring from the factory. (at least in my SM and LOTRLE)

I talked to Stern and now it comes with the shaker kit but since I am using an older shaker I don't have the harness, or else I inadvertently let it get away with the game that used to have the shaker in it. I swapped the harness from my Magneto and the shaker works fine in TWD. So now I just have to make another harness for use in Magneto.

Thanks for all the input.
