Traded out on beer for another. I hadn't moved my Tapper into my basement yet and saw this baby at Coinopwarehouse. So I traded it out. Drove for about 6 hours today, but it was worth it. Needs some work, but it does operate and looks to be mostly working and I'm going to try to open it up tomorrow. No keys, so I'll have some work to do. Very excited!

As much as I love Tapper, I would say you traded up. Tapper you can always emulate on a MAME machine, but ICB will always require the cabinet. Much more unique.

Congratulations :)

My thought exactly. I managed to pull the Tapper out of a local home back in September for a very good price and was able to trade up for a game that I thought for sure I wouldn't be able to get my hands on for a long time. Since my plan is to put in a home bar, I thought this would actually be more fun to play for more people than the Tapper will be.

Right now, I have no sound and although the gears work, but the bar doesn't move, so I'm guessing the belts are gone. Lights mostly work, games registers credits, and the start button works and lights up. For some reason there is an L bracket mounted over where the ball comes out which seems weird. I tried for a little last night to break in to the machine, but no dice. So I'm about to go back at it and get through these locks.
 
Your Tapper bust have been the one he put on facebook. Looked nice. Did the sound not work? The one he had said came in on trade and there was a sound issue.

Anyway, nice trade!

ICB is fun. Great drinking game! Would love to get one some day. I missed out when these were cheap :(

That would be the one. I bought it and put it away in my shed. I never really got a chance to fool around with it to even notice the sound didn't work. Cosmetically it was ok and it was very clean on the inside.

I was able to get the ICB open. Very very clean machine on the inside. Counter is only at 2564. Belts were in pieces on the bottom of the cab. Sound doesn't seem to work. I turned it up and I just got a hum. A great surprise in the bottom of the cab. An envelope that had an ICB manual, a sheet of advertising stickers for the front glass, an addendum, and a bag of bulbs and fuses. Not at all what I expected from the outside. I can't wait to work on this thing and get it in working order again!
