    I recently installed a shaker limiter board (from Pinball Life) into my Godzilla Pro. I had previously installed a shaker motor, and didn't like the loud rattling when the motor was on high (coinbox rattle?). The PCBA from "Anarchy" is very simple; it adds a 1 ohm 10 watt power resistor and a 5 amp fuse in series with the negative motor wire.

    I added a bypass switch in parallel with the board (negative wire) to allow me to easily "turn off" the limiter. Overall I prefer the feel with the limiter active. Although a subtle difference, the added resistance creates a more "nudge" feel than a shake, and there is far less rattle noise than before. I also appreciate the fuse in case of motor short or overload (or drain-diode failure).

    Thought I would post because I found little about this prior to install.
