Other tools needed will be a hammer and maybe some extra zip ties. NOTE: The hardest part of this install was screwing down the shaker motor to the bottom of the cabinet as there is little room to get a nut driver down on the left side. The Motion Control board even includes a relay for additional output such as lights, a fan, fog machine or whatever. The Motion Control kit includes an add-on board that connects to the PinSound board, the shaker motor and all wiring as well as excellent instructions.Įverything about the PinSound environment has been well thought out from software to the glowing leds on the boards, adjustment dials, labeled wires and templates for installing the shaker motor.

With modern Stern pinball machines like Star Trek and Godzilla, the shaker effects have been programmed in. That was an easy install using an after-market shaker kit from Pinball Life. Later I added a shaker motor to my Stern Godzilla Premium. The first pinball machine I owned with a shaker motor was a Stern Star Trek Pro pinball machine that had a shaker motor installed.
