Rather than spring for the high $$ commercial ones online, I took advice from a SASS form cowboy, and ordered parts from Amazon: a battery box (five for $9), and a pager vibrator motor (six for $10); this way you can share with your friends at a cost of $4-5 each.
With a bit of wire, solder, and a few rubber bands, I was able to make a nice one for use on the powder baffle. Here is a shot of the two parts and then the entire setup. The red arrow shows the vibrator motor rubber-banded to the baffle.

And add a powder shaker to the powder hopper from this guy https://ccshootingschool.com/
(and, by the way, he was 2007 EOT overall winner.)
I rubberband an $8 aquarium pump to the side of my powder measure. easy to move from one measure to another

Glad to hear you got it cleared. I went to a tube in a bottle rather than the box for spent primers. Not sure if it would work for all mounting arrangements.

I have no commercial interest in this company, just passing along a tool that was rather handy.
I find wrangling the loading gate spring to be a pain when disassembling/reassembling a New Vaquero. I used this tool recently and found it to be super convenient so I thought I’d pass it along. It’s sold by RW Grip Frames.

JUST SAY NO to the hammered double! Gunmakers moved on from that design for a reason!
I love my hammered double. Easy to open, and I've got the cocking routine down. The extra 47 seconds it adds to my time is offset by all the style points I get
(Be it known, Nostrum Damus is always at the at/near the top of the leader board, while I'm lucky to break into the Top 50 when we have a match of 37 shooters)
