Ice Cold Beer in the kitchen and i don't even drink the stuff!
just happy that i found this at a very reasonable price and that there's now another one in circulation...
got it from a collector who picked it up years ago with lots of other projects at auction. he never had time to do much more than plug it in to find out that it didn't work. i've been wanting one for years ever since playing FullThrottle's Zeke's Peak but the few that have shown up for sale were either snatched up very quickly or well beyond my meager budget. my wife played a Zeke's a week ago and told me i should get one, then i mentioned something to a fellow collector who knew someone and bam!, the darn thing is in my kitchen.
found one motor that has a badly cracked cap on top that keeps it from mounting properly (it works, but with extra noise,) one bent tab that holds the belt on and trips the cut-off switches, and of course bad belts. after a run to the auto parts store i made some new belts and fixed what i could and it's mostly up and running! just need to find a permanent fix or replacement for the motor and i think it'll be a great addition to my collection.
