Did anyone ever get around to sound dampening the Shuffle Tech? So far all I've seen is posts about sound proofing drink carts that hold it.

Has anyone experimented with some type of foam dampening on the sides of the internal tray?
It appears that most of the noise that comes from the shuffler is the plastic cards hitting the tray walls.

Something like this:

So I bought the cart, and the last two shuffle techs I have opened have been broken.

The rollers don’t work and the card tray is stuck on the bottom.

Annoyed…

1 here, 1 direct.

I think I got the one working. Had to push down on the tray.

These things are finnicky I think.

Side rollers weren’t working. And the tray wouldn’t come up.

I recall reading that when first setting it up, you had to push the tray to the bottom.

Push to the bottom until it clicks then press and hold the 3 and 7 buttons for 2 seconds. That's what I was told to do when mine had a minor issue. This reset the shuffletech and its been running smooth since.

So, tell us more.. what did you do to get it working? Did you contact shuffle tech? I’ve tried calling them a bunch of times and can’t get ahold of anyone. Concerning….
Email them. I got a response within a day.
 
From Manual:

Unjamming Shuffle Tech machines are designed to avoid jamming, but occasionally cards may jam inside the machine. If this happens, use your fingers to clear the cards. Once cards are cleared, begin purge mode by pressing and holding the (3) and (7) buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. In rare cases you’ll need to remove cards from the center tray and between the center and side trays, and then push the center tray to the bottom position to access cards stuck in the side tray. You will hear a “clicking” sound as you push the elevator down; this is OK, the machine is designed to allow this tray to be pushed down manually to access the side trays. Once cards are clear, press and hold the (3) and (7) buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to begin purge mode and reset the machine.

This is everything you need to know. If this doesn't work & tray stays at bottom then you need to send it back. Email "Chip" @shuffletech & he'll make you answer some questions first to be sure you've tried everything. You'll have it back in under 2 weeks.

Yeah I have the manual and was emailing chip. Shuffler is packaged up headed back to him.
Thx!!!
 
I like shuffling and dealing, I think it's good to learn. Having one dealer at a table, or a shuffler , sure it speeds the game up, but if you are the lone dealer, you miss some aspects of gameplay.
 
notice a lot of people are worried about speed here...
i think these run in the $5k+ range.

if you are, you're better off getting a dealer to worth for tips from your local casino.
they know the rules, the game will be very very fast, they could help with recruitment at times, to list a few reasons to get one.

They run about $750 from their direct website. That is still a crazy amount of money to spend but to be completely honest I'm not worried about my return on investment if it makes my game play better. $750 for a shuffler would be a significant purchase for me, but I look at it as a toy rather than investment. I think they're cool. I break most of my non essential purchases down to is it worth x amount of hours of over time ? if it is Ill buy it lol.

If side rollers aren't working I'd guess the o-ring jumped off.
 
For anyone who did the cut yourself, is the 45 degree angle cut on the short sides required?
 
Yes if you plan to use the flush mount

Epic fail!!!!

Got the shuffle tech and cabinet (ikea).

I cute the rectangle in the top of the ikea cabinet. And…

1/2” too long and destroyed the entire top.

So off to ikea to get another cabinet.
It's IKEA - can't you just buy a new top? (I thought they sold individual parts from the Customer Service side)
