Just wanted to say that I had read this post and was not going to buy a Cointaker shaker...Then read elsewhere on Pinside that people loved it ...Said screw it and grabbed one for my ST Pro.....Freakin LOVE IT! So, it's all about personal preference. Glad I grabbed a "Red Tremor"...

Quoted from Zorak:

So has the manufacturer of the red tremor motor ever addressed the issue? i. e. they still don’t work out of the box at a reasonable level until you buy an aftermarket fix and wire it in?

No issue to address, love mine

Quoted from JeffF:

Yeah, it confuses me why people are saying it shakes too much... that's what it's supposed to do no?
I've bought 3 or 4 normal shakers from Cointaker and have been happy with them. I knew I'd hate something called "TREMOR" so I steered clear. Don't really think it's up to CT to fix anything...

Exactly....it's like buying a Lamborghini and complaining that it's too fast.

Quoted from John_I:

More like a Lamborghini with square wheels. Not sure what is so hard to understand? Compared to the factory Stern or Pinball Life shakers even the regular shaker from Cointaker is WAY too strong. My Metallica literally wanted to walk across the carpet when I first got it. Better no shaker than Cointaker shaker.

I've had mine in my ST since I got it a few years ago... nothing has "rattled apart", "fallen off" etc...I love it... Yes, I definitely notice the difference compared to my TFTC, but causes zero concern.
