Anyone have experience with this? Helping a buddy that has a game that sits on a concrete floor in his basement. Will a shaker motor cause the game to rattle and buzz?

Any suggestions/insights would be cool.

thx!

i have a couple of clients with concrete floors. We have used these rubber feet in the past (mostly to protect the polished concrete)

I had my tftc on hardwood floors and it shook the hell outta things. Hated it.

I think on concrete the flooring would be less prone to vibration than hardwood.

LoL...not over thinking. He's on the fence and I didn't want to install the thing only to have it vibrate and rattle without some sort of cushion under the feet.

Mine sits on tile floors over concrete and it is not a problem.

Buy some pin-butts in a matching color
I always use these because my games are on concrete and I hate the sound they make when they slide

All mine are on furniture sliders that are padded. That would fix any problems

I don't think the shaker rattles that much - at least on my ST. It's just a little rumble that you feel if touching the machine. If it's shaking a machine that bad, I don't think that would be good and something is wrong.

I've started using a rubber washer between the base of Shaker and cabinet. Quiets shaker and makes for a much smoother "shake".

I've had my Gladiators on a concrete floor for over a year without any problems. That shaker rattles the entire house!
