Ice Cold Beer (ICB) Owner's Thread

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

Quoted from gliebig:

I'd sell mine for $4k.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Here you go $5K Now.....so If this sells are all the $4K now cheap? CrazY!

Quoted from jcar302:

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

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.

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.

Quoted from Wharhed:

Yikes.

Quoted from Wharhed:

An unrestored ICB being a $3500 game

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]

Quoted from Trizel:

Is anyone selling or know of an ice cold beer arcade being sold? Please pm me.

Quoted from Sunny1989:

I just listed mine at $3500

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]

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.

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

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.

Quoted from Coindork:

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

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.

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.

Quoted from jfrazie:

Anyone have a Zeke’s peak within 6 hours of Illinois? Not looking for ICB.
Have multiple pins/arcades for trade. Cash OK too!

Quoted from Flash319:

If anyone is interested I have started producing replacement play-fields. These will fit the original components. Made from 3/4 Mdf like original. $249 Cad + shipping.
New full cabinet coming soon![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from djblouw:

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

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.
