Hi. I have a new JP pro and have just received some new speaker lights and a shaker motor which I need to instal, but I cannot do it myself. I live in Canary Wharf. Previously I have used Bob in Worthing who is fantastic (I used to live in Brighton) but I guess travel costs will be chunky. Does anybody know and recommend a more local person to east London who could help? Thank you

Thank you Mike
The shaker mod should be a breeze to install. Not certain how much a pain the light mod would be.
I need to get robin over here. Just been trying to fix a date. Maybe he can to both in an afternoon as we’re only a few tube stops away.

Is Robin local…ish. More than happy to see if we can combine
Try reading the installation instructions then decide if you need assistance or not. If you're able to take the glass off the game and get the balls out of the machine before lifting the playfield then you're halfway there. With the shaker, you put it in position and screw down 4 bolts, connect a cable and place the cover over it and fit the 2 screws for the cover.
I can easily do what you suggested (ie remove balls, glass etc). I had no idea it was as easy as you suggest. I will have a read but surely it’s not as easy as that?
Still, will have a look. Thank you
Hi Simon
Hope all's well
Shaker motor should be quite straight forward as others have said, there's most likely a youtube video somewhere to walk you through it. But the holes are already there, you screw down the motor, add the cover and plug it in. This long reach screwdriver or one like it would make life easier https://www.toolstation.com/roughneck-long-reach-screwdriver/p58190
Depends on the speaker lights but most are designed for easy installation.
should you need me I'm in Greenwich on Sunday the 8th August if you get stuck, you're be fine though
Cheers Bob

Hello Bob. First of all good to hear from you. I hope all is well. Things have moved on since my post. I have installed the shaker motor and it really was as easy as you and others have said. Also, I have seen a 20 min video of how to instal the exact same light kit and I think I might be able to even do that
I will try tomorrow and let you know. Great to have you as a back stop for Sunday 
Cheers BobHi Mike. Quick update. I have managed to instal the shaker motor - it really was easy and I am going to have a crack at the lights tomorro. I have seen a 20 minute YouTube and it seems quite ok as well. Thank you though
Well done mate, glad you had a go with a happy ending
Nice work mate. Playfield swap here we come
