    Yeah, i thought they were different also.

    What is the difference between the shaker for Spike and the shaker for SAM? Is the motor and wiring directly connected to the shaker the same for these 2 types of pins? How is the wiring harness different? I know you also need the interface board to connect to a SAM pin, but if you already have the Stern interface board could you order the Spike shaker and hook it up to a SAM pin using the interface board you already have, or would wiring changes be needed?

    Quoted from jamieflowers:

    They are not interchangeable, you need a specific one for Spike...and if I remember correctly Stern will only warranty a factory shaker for Spike Games.

    Stern service bulletin #184 doesn't address using a Rev B shaker on a Spike game, or using a Rev C shaker on a SAM game. It addresses using a non-Stern shaker on a Spike game - "Use of anything else other than an authorized Stern Pinball OEM shaker motor assembly on a SPIKE equipped game could damage the game’s cabinet node board and will void your game’s warranty". So I'm still curious to know if the actual shakers are identical between Rev B and Rev C, perhaps with some wiring harness change ??, and of course for use on a SAM system you'd need the Stern Shaker Motor Interface Board. Another way to ask the question:

    Could you order a Rev C kit and use it on a SAM system if you already have a Stern Shaker Motor Interface Board?

    Could you order a Rev B kit and use it on a Spike system (just don't use the Stern Shaker Motor Interface Board)?
