I have a batman dark knight, and want to know if having a shaker motor is worth the 200. Does it inhance the game enough?

I think it does, we had a BDK, I sold it, we missed it, bought a new one........my wife said, "something is wrong?" "It's not wobbly?"

What? Oh....the shaker........ So anyway enough my wife missed it.

Also there is some pretty good deals on www.pinballshakermotors.com

Have had a BdK and I think shaker is great, especially when hitting the crane

I do Always have a shaker on all my games, find it giving just something extra I like

I love shaker motors. I think stern does a nice job of keeping the effect subtle so it adds the right amount of enhancement to the game without being too distracting. I love on my rolling stones how hitting any shot that you need to complete or start a mode gives you that little bit of tactile feedback. It really adds to the experience. It is much different though than the shaker in my roadshow where the whole thing would rattle my walls when you'd hit the blast zone.

I think a shaker adds to the enjoyment of any pin. I recently put one in my G'nR, and it is amazing! Putting a big internal sub in there has a bit of the same effect as well. With that combination, there is a great tactile feel to the games. G'nR didn't even officially support a shaker in the US release, so it was probably less developed than others, and it is still great. BDK is significantly newer, so I would expect at least that level of shaker support. Even if it isn't tied into modes, it adds a lot just from shaking with the pops and a few other items.

I think it's okay to list other places too, that is one heck of a price though for just one. Is shipping included in that price?
