Tommy - What is this board?

[Julian]

Well I think (know) its a shaker motor board, having goggled I can see the game was going to have a shaker motor but I guess the accountants took that out as they do.

Anyway what I don't understand is why are there connectors and wires going into it?

I am planning to trace them but thought while at work I'd just pop a post to see if other know what they are.

Can I put a Stern shaker motor into this machine using this board?

The code was changed before release so unfortunately shaker won't activate in game. I think it still fires off in test mode though but thats it. I have heard of someone retro fit one be so it is tied into the airplane propellors, fires when they spin.

So do you know why there are wires plugged into it, as there is not a shaker motor in there? Or could one just disconnect them and nothing in the game would change / stop working.

That's what I was thinking of 'hooking' it up to the plane motors....Something that will need to be worked on once the game is up and running.


Cheers

The preliminary manual still showed the board and shaker motor
