Is a Johnson HC-970 motor compatible? Do I need to fab a separate power control PCB as well? I am trying to add this mod to my Demo man with the new .99 code. Does anybody sell just the mounting bracket?

So, I need to build one of these:
I assume this write-up for building one for STTNG:
http://home.roadrunner.com/~pinballpassion/shaker.html
will also work for wiring it up in a Demo man?
1 week later
I am not sure I would tie it to a flasher as it will go off near continuously during attract mode. The Pinbits boards are coded to know when to work and when not to. .
Quoted from Phetishboy:Could a mod move this thread to the tech section? Please?
Thanks mods. Hopefully I'll get more views/ help here than in the modding forum.
First, the factory DM code is not capable of supporting a shaker.
You need to run the FreeWPC code. I believe in the DM code release James Cardona did, he said that PPS was coming out with a kit that would have instructions. And if memory serves, in that thread he talked about how to hook it up.

Thanks, but I mentioned running his code in the first post (I also posted this question in that thread as well, and James answered me best he could):

I also only have the shaker motor, no mounting brackets. James mentions where to tie in a complete motor assembly, and how to turn it on in the menu, but not how to install or mount the motor to brackets. He also mentions that no one is selling the complete assembly at this time, but PPR(?) MAY run them in the future, though no one knows when. So I bought the bare Johnson HC-970 motor pictured above. I am trying to figure out what the brackets should look like and how the motor mounts into them. Anyone with a Roadshow could help with pics or diagrams from the manual if they exist.

Pretty sure he already knows this, he just needs help with the mounting etc. BUMP
Quoted from bigd1979:Here you go sir and I was thinking of taking apart my shaker in rs today to try to stop the rattling on the cabinet. If I do ill take some pics for you

Flash photography tends to bring out the worst in most pin interiors. No biggie. Wow, without pics how in the hell would I have ever known it looks like that?! Weights, spindles, brackets, rods, nuts, bolts, screws, lions, tigers and bears oh frickin' my. This could be an undertaking for sure.
My opinion is that it could be done a lot simpler than williams did. At least for a one off prototype anyway. Cut some angle bracket and put some holes in it for the mount and the shaker weights could be made from flat stock. Those are the right motors by the way.
I spoke with Rick at PPS personally and he said he was planning on selling shakers once MMR came out and that they would be compatible with RS and, by extension, my code. I was originally planning on building some but when he told me that I stopped. Hopefully they are out soon as I will be buying 2 of them.
