Tales from the Crypt
Data East, 1993Just picked up a TFTC. Noticed the shaker motor is not working. Checked in manual adj 48 is a shaker motor on/off adjustment.. On my machine I have adj 48 as "proprietary". Went through all adjustments and there is no adjustment for shaker motor. Is there not a shaker motor on my machine? Was this a optional package from factory?
Quoted from LTG:Stock from factory.
Check small board near by for burned traces or metal parts behind board.
Check and fuses involved - pull and check with a meter.
LTG : )
LTG, i think he ought to look to see if the shaker is even there first..
his first post asks if his game has a shaker...
it may be gone..
Shaker motor is there. Wiring is intact. Found one of the fuse holders on the board that controls the shaker was missing a fuse. Found a 3amp fuse below th board on the base of the cabinet. I could not find a schematic of the shaker board in manual. It has three fuses. I plugged in the 3amp fuse. Rolled the dice lol. No luck. I don't think it's getting power. I'm thinkomg that the problem is that adjustment 48 for the shaker on/off is not there it says proprietary ?

Did you blow the new fuse ?
Latest ROM revision in your game ? Game Rom A3.03 Display ROM A3.01 ?
You could always briefly ground the transistor tab the drives it and see if it turns.
LTG : )
I recently updated from 3.01 to 3.03
On both roms adjustment 48 is listed as proprietary.
3.01 - 48 does nothing. You have to disconnect the shaker power to turn it off.
3.03 - 48 turns shaker on and off.
Haha found plug not plugged into board. But... Still not working properly . Lets a hum out and a tiny bit of vibration. Can u adjust this?

Intensity is not adjustable in the DE games like it is in the Stern games. You probably have a bad motor, likely why there was a missing fuse and the plug then removed.
It's fixed! The power cable the motor was wrapped around the shaft. Seizing the rotation of the motor. Lol. I even removed the motor brushes they look brand new. I wonder how long this shaker motor was not working? Oh we'll don't care. Now everything works on machine. And TFTC is a kick a$$ game!
