sub £20 Stern shaker motor

[AlanJ]

Bought a cheap shaker from china

checked the spec and compatible with stern interface, so hooked it up.

It works pretty well. Not as big, so not as powerful as a normal one, but not bad for under £20. Just had to extend the wire and crimp a connector.

great idea, the normal ones are over powered anyway IMHO.

You can even wear this one. i might design a pair of pinball shaker shorts and encourage stern to add a shaker output jack socket on the front of their games.

it’s about 1/2 the size of a std shaker, so you’d have a mick jagger bulge

Do you have a link?

I’ve currently got a pinshaker in a coffin which is quite an expensive way to power a Halloween prop

Guess I could swap them over.

It doesn't get red hot does it? I have a green degauss wand off Aliexpress with no GND wire and it gets red hot in seconds!

No it’s fine. i ran it for quite a few games and it’s all good
