Ice Cold Beer (ICB) Owner's Thread

New to the club. It's going to be a pretty big project, as it's been sitting since the mid-80's.

So my question is where should I start? Once I get inside the game (I'm going to have to drill the lock), is there any test procedures to perform before turning it on? I'm used to classic Bally SS games, and disconnection driver boards & mpu's so that you can check voltages, etc. But I'm not sure if any of this applies to ICB?

It'll be a few days before I can get at it, but I'm hoping to have a strategy for when I start on it.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like I should be okay just going through it normally. And yes, I will most likely put in the switching power supply, as its a better solution to the linear supply.

The bottom of the cabinet took some damage (from sitting on concrete for 35 years), so I'll have to address that before being able to level it.

Has anyone replaced their CPO?

On mine the thick plastic piece has cracked and broken.

Anyone use this one from ebay?

So what’s the consensus on using LED’s in ICB?
I’m not talking ungodly bright once’s. Just nice warm white to keep it close to original.

Yeah, I figured while I had the entire thing disassembled, I should make the change.

My machine only had one coin mech in it when I got it. I'd like to get a second one installed, but its not the regular mech I'm used to with pinball machines. Does anyone have any info/spares for the plastic coin mech?

Finally got my ICB Working after refreshing it. Fun game! I’m going to need a new glass, as this one is roached.16B1C419-2C2F-4E8B-996E-747271A7B808 (resized).jpeg

So what’s the average price for an ICB?

I may be more inclined to selling mine, rather than putting it into storage (due to space constraints)

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

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.

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