Quoted from Mcpit:Anyway it's a shame the strength can't really be adjusted (you can try and play with the weights but that didn't do it for me) so I just added a $1 / 3 Ohms / 20 Watts resistor in series and Bob's your uncle, perfect intensity for me.
Would you mind posting some pictures or maybe a walk through for those of us that don't even know where to buy a resistor? 
I have one for my Metallica, but it's disabled because I hate it.
Quoted from transprtr4u:Another Pinside helped my with the same issue on my STNG ... Pay it forward !
eBay
PWM DC 6V 12V 24V 28V 3A Motor Speed Control Switch Controller
Any instructions on how to wire it up for a Stern?
I ordered one of the speed controllers last week and installed it on Friday. It appears to work correctly, but still has a totally different feel than my WoZ. I'm not sure if it is just the difference in mass between the two or not. The WoZ just feels smoother, where as the Coin Taker is more harsh, but much better after the controller install.
The installation was a piece of cake.
1. Disconnect the 2-wire harness from the circuit board attached to the side of the cabinet.
2. Cut both wires, leaving enough on both sides to install the controller.
3. Strip back both sides of the cut about 1/4".
4. On the back of the controller, you'll see all 4 pins labeled (Power -, Power +, Motor +, Motor -)
5. Connect the "Power -" to the black wire on the side with the plug you cut off the motor
6. Connect the "Power +" to the red wire on the side with the plug.
7. Connect the "Motor -" to the black wire on the motor side.
8. Connect the "Motor +" to the red wire on the motor side.
9. Plug the connector back into the board and either mount the controller to the cabinet, or tuck it away from anything metal.
This is the one I bought:

Quoted from Rensh:Bought an after market shaker for my TWD which is a little to wild for my feeling, especially when used so often. Reminds me of my roadshow
I ordered the PW controller as suggested. Can tell you that changing the resistor value also helps but the tunabolity of the PW is interesting and as I am going on holiday anyway deltime is not an issue.
Does anybody recognize the brand of shaker. Was bought in europe but could it be a Pinball life shaker or ...? It comes with a cover by the way.
Unfortunately I can't help you with the shaker motor, but I do have to say, that's a crazy loose tilt!
