Question...
So, cointaker sent me a shaker-motor. The plug does not appear to match anything on the IO board....
Where the hell does it go??? I found a plug but it seemed inverted and...not correct.

Quoted from knockerlover:join_the_cirqus is correct.
The shaker motor connector is a spike connector for spike and spike 2 systems, and plugs into the “shaker motor” PinOut on the power supply board in the bottom of the cabinet.
Pin 1 - red
Pin 2 - N/A
pin 3 - red (jumper or loop)
Pin 4 - black
Pin 5 - black (jumper or loop)
Well, crap. The cointaker shaker I have is a red one...but the plug is a completely different shape from the one that is on the board.......
Quoted from TomDK:Maybe I am wrong but a shaker is at least a motor. A motor used in pinball has 2 wires ....
The Alien is prepared for a shaker. There is a pcb with connectors or solderplate for this 2 wires ...
From an other post copied:

IF ... there is no preparation for a shaker you will need a pcb which converts the signal from the pinballmachine to 12 volts
power for the shaker. So this pcb needs 12 volts, 2 conectors signal from the pinball. This pcb are for sale from different distributors.
You dont have a neighbor or friend who will connect this 2 cables for you ?!
Or is the shaker completely out of range ?
Found it, installed...
It activates in test, no problem. When in-game? When activated it shuts down the whole game and restarts....on version 1.2 also.
color-codes match, the plug works, etc.
No clue...seems like more trouble that it is worth.
Quoted from TimeBandit:Sling GI boards arrived. Fit perfectly.

My left sling has gone bad. Best way to obtain new sling boards? Suitable alternative?
Quoted from TimeBandit:I will have them available shortly. About another week.
Excellent. I will likely buy several for spares as I did with the motherboard, mini-lcd panels and lcd-panel controllers. Please keep me posted.
