    Question ICB owners. Yesterday playing my ice cold beer the bar stopped moving. The belts are fine. The ball will go in hole one, the bar will return to get the ball and then stop. The bar will not move. If i cut the game off, it will move to find the ball and get it ready for a game.

    #136 5 years ago
    Quoted from T-800:

    Did you check the switch connections at both the sticks and the board? Check the boards to make sure the switch logic components are still good?

    I got it. The belt switch at the bottom left was not registering.

    Quoted from benbjerke:

    I would looooove to buy one of these. We're an arcade in Sandpoint, Idaho and looking to add one into Coeur d'Alene. This (and Zeke's Peak) would make an awesome addition! If you have one and are willing to sell, let me know! Ben

    Whats your price range?

    #184 4 years ago

    It says unsold on Ebay!

    #187 4 years ago
    Quoted from gliebig:

    I'd sell mine for $4k.

    Me 2. I have the Taito version.

    #192 4 years ago
    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    Here you go $5K Now.....so If this sells are all the $4K now cheap? CrazY!
    ebay.com link[quoted image]

    Quoted from jcar302:

    For 5 grand I'd at least expect some type of effort to take better pics and give a description.

    It’s mine. Trying to see if anyone buys it.

    #196 4 years ago
    Quoted from brainmegaphone:

    Zeke’s Peak for $1800? I’ll take three please.
    The market is closer to $3k+ on these like it or not. Even the $2500 is cheap. ICB is more common and sells in the $3k range.

    I totally agree. At 3k they sell quickly. Tatio version is a 3k plus game.

    #201 4 years ago
    Quoted from jcar302:

    I've had serious offers of 3k from people picking up other games. Tempting, but i doubt it would be easy or cheap to find another one. I'm also not one of the people that got it really cheap. So a small profit isn't motivation to sell it.

    Exactly my point. I had a 3k offer yesterday. Part of me says do it and part of me says its not easy to find and you probably will never get one again.

    Quoted from Wharhed:

    An unrestored ICB being a $3500 game

    I had 3 offers for mine at 3500. Not restored. Supply and Demand sets pricing. Maybe not for you but for those who want it bad enough.

    Quoted from Herk:

    I picked up a ICB last night. It had been sitting in a warehouse for years.
    The first time I plugged it in it fired right up but the right side of the rod didn’t move so I turned it off and found the belt had dry rotted and broke. I ordered a new set of belts last night so no biggie.
    However, after I turned it back on I’m no longer getting any displays and even though it will coin up it won’t start a game. Anyone have any ideas where to look first?[quoted image]

    Good find. It’s a great game.

    Quoted from Waldo:

    Well they are extremely fun and still one of the most played games in my entire arcade, so there is a lot of value in that.[quoted image]

    Exactly. I love my ICB and Zekes Peak.

    #342 3 years ago

    Anyone have a website to order switches and parts for ICB and ZP?

    #346 3 years ago
    Quoted from Coindork:

    Which switches and parts are you looking for?
    The micro switches in the back for up down? Ball return?
    I’ve found that parts for this are more readily available on arcade sites rather than pinball sites.
    The switches probably won’t be tagged as ICB specific on those sites, just suitable replacement for part number.

    The motor switch. Zekes Peak artwork. Not just the side art. But with wood grain part as well.

    #348 3 years ago
    Quoted from pfinny:

    They are not rare they made a lot of them, back in the 90,s a lot of them probably went to the landfill nobody wanted them was lucky to get 200.00 for them at a game auction back then it wasn’t until pinball started getting popular that prices shot up on them when demand started going up the supply wasn’t there since a lot of them got trashed 10 to 15 yearsearlier

    Do you own one?

    #353 3 years ago
    Quoted from Coindork:

    Hmmmmmm.
    I’m not sure where you would get new repro art to restore a Zeke’s Peak.
    I just looked at all the normal arcade art sites like Phoenixarcade, thisoldgame and escapepod and none seem to sell it.
    You might have to scan it and clean it up in photoshop if no one prints it.
    If you do that sites like escape pod or game on graphics will print them for you. It won’t be screen printed, but it’s better than nothing and not bad. Also if you do that, make sure you supply them with exact measurements for when they print the files or it may not be one to one.
    As far as the wood grain goes, most people just use wood grain laminate.
    Same goes for things like cabarets and early black and white arcade games with wood grain sides. Just find a grain pattern that closely resembles what’s on the actual cab.
    I think ZP is probably rarer than ICB by about 10-1 which is probably why the normal repro art places haven’t done the art yet, because the demand probably isn’t big enough.

    Thanks

    Quoted from Coindork:

    Nice, I didn’t check eBay.
    Here’s a link to where you can buy the display plastic.

    #356 3 years ago
    Quoted from visi0n:

    Does anyone happen to have a lead on an ICB or Zeke's Peak main PCB? I came into a game with a pretty decent cabinet but it looks to have been partially picked through. I got it running with a loaner PCB but I'm going to need to return the loaner soon and find a permanent solution.

    I can fix your board if it has one.

    #360 3 years ago

    Where can I get a ballast for both my ICB and Zekes? Home Depot does not carry it.

    #362 3 years ago
    Quoted from jcar302:

    I'm a electrical contractor.
    Buy a direct wire 120v bulb and bypass the ballast. It's easier to install, runs cooler and will last forever.

    Sweet. Good call.

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

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

    #405 3 years ago
    Quoted from djblouw:

    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%

    Quoted from ovfdfireman:

    I don’t know, seems 4500-5000 might be the going rate these days then ad eBay fees (EBay is always over priced) I currently have what would be my second ICB, sold my first one years ago due to lack of space. I recently bought another for 2X the price. I might have over paid, but since they are very difficult to find I knew I would spend years looking and prices may be higher when I find another.

    I still say it’s supply and demand. Does anyone want one for 2k? I sure do. So, does anyone on this forum have one they would sell for $2k?

    #464 3 years ago

    Supply & Demand.

    Make me one...

    Quoted from Pinballer73:

    Witnee maybe you shouldn't under estimate the market. I'm sure there would be quite a few people that would buy your version. Good luck with the project.

    I have a ICB and Zekes Peak and i would still buy one of these.

    Quoted from armi0024:

    Hey guys, updates will be here:
    Retroarcaderemake.com
    The new ICBs and Zekes peak will play and look exactly like the original. New art is being produced based on the originals and will be a marked improvement to some current offerings and will be compatible with original machines.
    The basic idea is a fpga emulation of the original system, with stepper motor control, better designed but original style joysticks (keeping leafs just improving pivots), and Bluetooth for both updates to code as well as the ability to link games. They will start at 4995. We will not be producing retrofit kits, and while we do expect the originals to maintain value, I think people will become more interested when they see what the new systems can and will do (we are extremely excited by head to head play) These are fully licensed by Taito with the first batch planned for around April 1.

    This is really cool. I love my original ICB and Zekes but happy for those who can now own these classics.

    My ICB plays fine ... but the lights for the holes and the stars don't work. I have to remember what hole I'm on. Been dragging my feet on sending my CPU out for diag/repair, but I'm actually not sure it's the CPU. Any ideas?

    I am working on mine right now. If you get stuck, send the board to me. I repair these for people all the time. My cost is very reasonable..

    https://www.mcglobalgames.com/ice-cold-beer/
    How many companies are going to be doing remakes? This thing is ugly imo.

    I will stick w/ my original for sure..

    #640 2 years ago
    Quoted from yzfguy:

    Yes. This makes me think that some will love the idea of a new game, but plenty of folks will still favor the original. Kinda like the refake pins
    I don't get why they put the lights above the target holes, looks "off".

    Quoted from jp1985:

    Either way at $7500 it may increase the value of the original.

    People will soon see the original will be in bigger demand after this release. I agree w/ the Pin remakes. I love what Rick is doing w/ them but i will stay w/ my original bally/williams. So are you saying the remake ICD are 7500??

    #642 2 years ago
    Quoted from jp1985:

    Yes I saw it on the Facebook ad from a distributor.

    This should help the originals go up up up... These ICB they are remaking for for Commercial use anyway.

    Bit’s and pieces from years of gathering them up.
    Old use playfield, control panel, speaker from an old pinball game. Rebuilt used main board.
    New cabinet, power supply, and a homemade wiring harness, that looks like a rats nest but works. My first attempt at a wiring harness, and it worked.

    Thinking about this game. Any owners want to chime in with honest answer? Is this game worth purchasing? I feel like it would get old quick and the novelty wouldn't last longer than a month. What's everyone's thoughts? Replayability?

    I will never sell mine unless i was about to lose my house.

    #764 1 year ago
    Quoted from jtreehorn:

    I agree, easy to master and gets boring quick but it is the game that gets played the most when I host parties. Adults and kids play it non stop and hardly touch the pins.

    Exactly. It''s just something you need to own. When i have hosted arcade/pinball nights at a Brewery, the line to play games in on ICB.. ALWAYS!! I am talking 20 machines. 10 Pinballs and 10 Arcades. ICB always has a line...
