Yes, because the shaker is part of the Homepin pinball project - this is a far larger undertaking than a single machine (Thunderbirds) and the shaker assembly will be a staple of ALL machines we release.
any clues on future machines Mike ?
Some licenced - some not and also (at the moment) 2 and maybe 3 that Homepin will manufacture for other companies.
That's huge news. Once the word gets out there that TAG is a high quality machine, I'm sure that smaller companies will look toward having Homepin manufacture their game. Not only would it be cost effective, but it means designers can have more "gadgets" on their designs. If they need a VUK, they don't need to design from scratch - just use the patented Homepin assemblies.
