well, this is one that's been on my short list for a while. i enjoy it, and chrissy completely loves it. i've seen a few come up in the area and they've been grabbed before i had a chance, and as fun of a game as it is, they don't seem to resell.

so i was at pacray's, and he mentioned that a local pinball place was possibly thinking of getting rid of their ICB, and I emailed the person about a possible trade of my woodrail gottlieb pin for the ICB. well, he emailed me back and said it wasn't presently going anywhere, but he had a broken one he'd trade plus cash for the pin.

so initially picked it up, and it is in a little rough shape, but not real bad. just rough around the edges. there's a little water damage on the base, but the rest of the cab isn't too bad aside from the woodgrain stuff peeling a little bit.

at first, only the left down worked, the motor would keep running and by messing around with the limit switches i could get it to start a non playable game. today, i replaced all the motor drive transistors, and it's all fixed. now on to the cosmetic work, after i get some games in.....

Built a new base out of 1x6's... trimmed and sanded off the swelling, Wood hardener and bondo did wonders!!! I've been kind of lazy over the last week but have the new vinyl installed and just need to start reassembly.
 
Just sold my Zeke's Peak the other day, I always wanted one, but it got VERY repetitive after awhile. I could pretty much get in to the top hole every game or 2. Guests REALLY get their asses kicked at it, pretty comical. Congrats on the new game!!
 
Congratulations! Looks fun. :)

Not trying to steal the tread but, What was the production difference between the ICB with midway coin door versus the ICB with the Tatio coin door?
 
Off topic, but since I have never seen an ICB or Zeke's Peak in the wild, is there an iPhone or iPad app that is similar enough to let me know how they play?

you know, i'm not sure. i wonder if it was a parts issue or whatever? the midway style door i think would be easier produce, and requires less than the taito style having the extra door under for the coin box.

but, looking at pics online, i see games with both doors, so who knows.
