    I’m normally don’t go for goofy trim colors, but that actually looks pretty good. ICB could, dare I say, actually use a little bling.

    I can’t believe I just used the word bling.

    Okay, moving on....

    I may need to copy you on this.

    #404 3 years ago
    Quoted from Skyemont:

    A friend just sold a Zekes Peak which is the same thing basically for $3,900

    Thanks for this.

    So if I list it (or trade it) for 2500-2800 it seems reasonable? It needs some minor adjustments and a new glass, but does work.

    I think that’s to low to be honest. $3500 seems right to me is working 100%

    #406 3 years ago

    I think 3500 is fully restored or mint myself.

    #407 3 years ago
    Quoted from djblouw:

    Thanks for the input. Anyone else have thought on pricing?

    Anywhere between 2.5 and 3.5 depending on condition. My 2 cents.

    #408 3 years ago
    Quoted from Tigger:

    Anywhere between 2.5 and 3.5 depending on condition. My 2 cents.

    I think this is spot on. There is a timing component of all sales as well (is this a good time or bad time to get top dollar) which impacts price. I see nearly all of these in the $3k range give or take minor condition issues.

    #409 3 years ago

    Thanks for the input everyone. I’ll get some pictures and create a fs ad over the holidays.

    If you list it for $2500 it will be gone in minutes.

    Yep, that seems to be on the cheap end these days. A lot of demand for this game.

    I am looking for one in the Southeastern PA area. Not interested in shipping at this time.

    In my opinion, the pinball community will pay better prices than the arcade community for these.
    That said, there’s no harm in giving your sale more exposure.

    Ice Cold Beer for sale or trade
    The flourescent light in my game isn't tuning on. I want to replace. Does anybody know what the proper lamp and starter is? I can find a Taito part number but that doesnt help me.

    I am also looking for tips on replacing the belts. I have the replacement belts that PBR sells but it is simply a single length of tubing. Should I simply divide that in half? Should I completely remove the old belts, save the coupling tab from each and then construct the new belts. Then I would assume just stretch each new belt over the pulleys and then adjust the length of belts in or outside the machine?

    I assume all ICB owners have dealt with this at one time or another.

    Warm white. I put a red in #10 and also the start button.

    my play field lights and my control panel light is not lighting up (at start up or during game play). I checked the fuses (all good) and checked test points on the board (12V and 5V all good). I don't appear to be getting voltage to the lights at all. So, wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I was scrolling through some old e-mails (Yikes, from July 2011) and was told to check to see if the ULN2003 (Was told "I have seen them go bad before"). So, guess I'll be starting there next and seeing if I can get these lights to light up. Guess I should of never sold the working ZP PCB years ago. Anything "not involving" replacing chips should I check next?

    Not sure if this will help but I was having issues where my lights would turn off randomly or not turn on at all. Installed this:https://www.arcadeshop.com/i/1182/taito-ice-cold-beer-zekes-peak-power-supply-kit.htm Haven't had an issue since.

    Ok, my voltages are now not correct. Removed the power brick tonight and I unplugged J1 on the board and checked the voltages. What is weird is that Red 6 and 8 are 7.89 and 16.44 and Should be 25vac. But shouldn't they both be the same? I'm pretty against switchers but might make an exception this time.

    I am not totally sure about the voltages. I installed the switcher back in August and the game has run like a champ since.

    Ok, replaced the Bridge Rectifier Diode (larger ones) and reflowed solder... Then tested the BR81D and one was bad so I replaced both... I now have the correct voltages now and lights on the playfield. Yay(ish). However, the lights stay on 100% of the time (don't blink). I do have replacement ULN2003 chips (and sockets) so next step is to check to see if these are bad. From my notes I've been told that these chips help control the lights so fingers crossed that this resolves this.

    What's the best way to remove the decals from the sides and the control panel overlay?
    Does anybody sell the wood grain for the sides?

    #437 3 years ago
    Quoted from TaTa:

    What's the best way to remove the decals from the sides and the control panel overlay?

    Go to Harbor Freight and buy a heat gun. Then very carefully apply heat slowly and peel away old decals,etc.. I then had success using GOOF off adhesive remover in the spray can(not the bottle). May try This Old Game for decals?

    Finally found someone to build a cab for me! It's built out of furniture grade plywood, and then stained and sealed. I could've went with unfinished and then painted it myself, but I really like the woodgrain look all around.

    I had it on my game, but it is sold already. In Europe every second game had the dispenser I guess.

    You get tickets for making the '10' hole or just progression?

    #445 3 years ago

    There are different dip switch settings. I have mine set up for a ticket every hole 5 and above.

    Quoted from tslayer71:

    I would set mine for “10” then turn in the ticket for a FREE BEER!!!

    Though my college son stops after getting 10 5-6 time in a row, I will be broke once he hits drinking age!

    Quoted from TomDK:

    It’s interesting that in Europe a higher percentage of the machines have ticket dispensers than in the U.S.
    When these were new, they were targeted to bars here in the U.S. as you couldn’t have beer advertising in arcades with kids.
    Hence you also had Zeke’s Peak (the pc version) for an establishments with kids.
    Same basic reason they came out with Root Beer Tapper as an alternative to Budweiser Tapper. I suppose this wouldn’t really be that big of a deal in a country like Germany or Belgium with a rich beer culture.
    Do Zeke’s Peaks ever show up in Europe?

    Here in the states when a person would reach the 10th hole, the star would light up on the scoring plastic. You would show it to the bartender and get a free beer.

    #448 3 years ago

    Am I allowed here with my new Zeke's Peak?

    I don't NEED it, but as with pins, I'm in the honeymoon phase and if there were a source for a new cabinet, I'd be interested in a price before I attempt cleaning up this cabinet. Any ideas? I read the previous 8 pages and nobody mentions price or availability.

    All I know is that if ICB is going for 3-4k, that things worth it's weight in gold
