Sorry if this has been asked already. But some shakers I’ve experienced are too violent like a jackhammer is turned on inside the cabinet. Is this shaker more in line with a typical Stern shaker?
I’m looking at PotC

Quoted from Butch2099:

Hi guys, just wanted to chime in here is saying that I've been working with Robert as a beta tester for the Shaker motor. I just installed it last night on my no good Gofers and it is awesome!
Installation was really easy, and his step by step instructions were very clear. The motor and everything associated with it is top-notch, thought out, and high quality. I really like the number of selections that you have to choose from that trigger the shaker. I also like how you can manually adjust how strong the motor shakes.
Robert was a pleasure to deal with and very interested in all of the feedback that I had to provide.
I think this one's going to be a big hit!

Quoted from Lermods:

Hi Guys (and gals),
I have been a beta tester for one of the shaker kits for my Wh20. I am not being paid for the review and I paid for the kit so don't have any bias. I didn't include any pics, but they are all in the instructions on their site and in the video they've made.
The kit arrived very well packaged, all parts were present and everything was well marked.
First step was to install the power connection to the game. This will vary by game. For wh2o, I unhooked the 9 pin connector between the power switch box and the transformer. You have to remove the white and black wires from the connector that comes out of the power switch box. I had issues getting the pins out and had to cut and repin the wires. You may have a different experience getting the pins out, but Pinshaker is working on a better plug and play connection so you just unplug the 9 pin connector and plug in his harness/splitter, will be much simpler. Note that connection points are different depending on the game, if you have a dollar bill adapter, it's plug and play. I called Pinshakers about the trouble removing the pins and they picked up quickly to help. The kit includes its own power supply so you are not pulling power from the game. The power supply connects to the 9 pin connector and includes the jumpers that were on the connector from the power switch box. Nothing complicated at all.
Next step was to install the shaker motor. My game has a board that the transformer is mounted too, leaving no room to mount directly to the bottom of the cabinet. No problem, the kit includes long screws to mount the shaker to the board. A mounting template is provided so you mark the holes and drill them out with a 1/4' bit. Hammer in the mounts on the bottom of the cabinet and install the shaker as you normally would.
Next step was to install the motor driver board and make the connection to the game's power drive board. The kit comes with two separate harness, one to control solenoids and one to control flashers, you can only use one of them at a time. I chose to use the flashers. My kit came with an incorrect solenoid harness as the headers for the solenoids were already being used, it's one of the few games where j128/129 are used...this is why there are beta testers. Pinshaker will address this issue with a Z connection. Didn't matter to me as I prefer to hook up to flashers for this game.
I mounted the motor driver board to the side of the cabinet with the supplied velcro and wood screws, attached the connector from the supplied harness and the power cable from the supplied power supply to the board. Unplugged J125 on the driver board, plugged in the other end of the supplied harness from the motor board and attached it to J125, The original connector for J125 gets plugged into the supplied Z connection. A ground cable is supplied with the harness, just attached it to any ground screw in the game. Really simple to do. Before I mounted the board, I set the dip switches to indicate when the shaker would turn on. You just push the dip switch to "on" to enable it. Pinshaker supplies a chart showing the solenoid and flasher settings. I set three dip switches so the shaker would turn on with the insanity falls flasher, big foot cave flasher and the whirlpool flasher.
Last step was to connect the shaker motor to the connector from the harness in the previous step. Just run the wire from the harness down into the cabinet and make the Molex connection.
Turned the game on, went into test mode for the flashers, cycled through and i could feel the shaker working when those three flashers were activated. The shaker motor board has a dial on it so you can change the intensity of the shaker. It felt good out of the box so I didn't adjust it.
Overall, this is an extremely nice product, 5 stars all the way around. It works nicely in the game and adds what I think is a missing dimension from these older games. It took me about an hour to install the shaker, I went slow and took my time since i was not familiar with it. When I install the next one for my shadow and possibly roadshow (missing shaker), i'd guess it will take no more than 30 minutes. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most difficult, install is a 2, it's that easy. The only tools you really need are a screwdriver, hammer for the shaker mounting hardware, a drill and 1/4" bit, everything else is supplied.
Hope this is helpful...great work Pinshakers! If anyone has any questions, PM or ask Pinshakers.

Quoted from drummermike:

Just finished installing the shaker in my Funhouse. This was the easiest shaker install I have done. All the parts you need are included. The instructions were also very clear and correct. The only thing I did wrong was to run the short power cord up the back box. The 6' power extension cord is already in the harness that goes from the back box down to the lower cabinet.
I set my shaker to go off with the Rudy flasher only. It works great. I like that you are able to adjust the intensity of the shaking.
Well thought out product. May have to put one in CV.

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:

Just installed mine on the shadow. Love it! However, the directions are not crystal clear. There was a few times I had to just “figure it out”. The instructions should be more in-depth so someone at any skill level can put them together. It took me while to get everything hooked up and running. It was well worth it!

Quoted from djreddog:

Being out of stock is a good thing, it means there is demand for your awesome product!

Quoted from Nepi23:

Hi!
Can you please PM me via Pinside the answer as well? I am interested in getting a shaker for my CCC.
Thanks!

Quoted from jrcmlc:

Was thinking about adding a shaker to my no fear and maybe a couple other games, you not getting a reply worries me a little. What's the concensus, this or the pinsound standalone unit?
