    I wanted to let everyone know how to save some money by installing a Stern shaker motor into a JJP game.
    As a disclaimer I take no responsibility if you damage your game doing this. I've used this method on DI WOZ and my Wonka and all worked perfectly.

    All you need to do is order this shaker motor kit from pinball life.

    Some .93 male molex pins

    A molex crimper

    A molex pin removal tool.

    Steps:
    Cut the existing IDC connector off the shaker motor.

    Strip the red and blue wires in the shaker motor and crimp a molex pin to each wire.

    Remove the molex pin from the connector with the brown and white wire going to it and save the connector housing.

    Insert the crimped wires into the molex connector.

    The Red wire goes into the side closes to the triangle end, the blue wire goes in the complete opposite end.

    Mount your shaker motor as you normally would. Plug in the connector and voila!

    Does anyone know if a SAM red tremor shaker should work in this case? Not sure if the red tremor version is 12V like the regular SAM shaker.

    SAM red tremor works also, just installed one.
