    Was in a BM thread, and a post was made that he disconnected a shaker if installed in any game. Didn't like the effect. Personally, I love the effect. Can't imagine some titles without one. Vote, and post your thoughts....might be some interesting insight.....

    Quoted from Deez:

    I can't believe anyone wouldn't like a shaker. I could see some of the prissy pinheads that can't fix a thing unhooking it because they're worried it vibrates their baby too much. To me it's the more shake the better. I can always tighten the screws back up.

    Quoted from Coz:

    Love the shaker! Should be standard on all pins

    I'm with you guys...I'd have shakers in all my pins if I could figure it out....guess I was shocked when he posted it, and thought...hell, maybe time for a new topic.

    Quoted from o-din:

    Don't see the point in adding them to games if they don't fit the theme though.

    Agree w that.....I inquired awhile back if FGY had a shaker option...it was stated the the game was "prior to the shaker era" . I have no idea if that is correct or not. I could see a little shake during fart multi-ball or other modes being fun, but other titles probably wouldn't fit....interesting to me..

    It's just one of those effects that really make the game "react" to your gameplay, when integrated correctly. Lot's of mods discussed, debated....but man, the shaker is a must have for me. Some games, it's a subtle reminder.... others an aggressive glass shaker.....much fun!!!!

    Quoted from ReplayRyan:

    On certain games and at appropriate times (not max vibration with every switch hit), sure.
    On games like Addams Family, Playboy, Ghostbusters, no. Well Playboy would be pretty funny...

    I could see it being cool inTAF during the lightning / storm sequence before multiball, and other odd hits. TZ, TSPP, WCS, not so much ( just referencing my lineup).

    SM would be a completely different game without it.

    AFMRLE rocks with it....did the original have it? I dont remember as its been awhile since I played one.....

    Would it be considered one of the top 4 mods for machines w the option? No additional poll of course, but for example, would you choose it over colordmd, pdi, etc.?

    I would have to think its at the top....

    Quoted from pascal-pinball:

    Imho color dmd is the best mod ever.

    Have on all my applicable machines....glad i dont have to choose
