thanks for the info.

I guess I am officially looking for either of the versions of ICB. If anyone knows of one then please point me in the direction.

You will most likely have more luck finding the original Taito version rather than the I.C.E. version. They didnt make a ton of the I.C.E. ... You may want to hit up Kingpin to see if he has any leads, I am pretty sure he used to have then on route.

They are super fun, and have a small footprint. They are very approachable from someone new, and will get a ton of play. On the newer version (not sure about the Taito version), if you make it through the first set of holes, the second time around the bar starts to "jump" to make it even more difficult.

They are super basic to work on. Parts are close to impossible to find on the I.C.E. version, I am not sure about the Taito version. I was fortunate when I found mine, the seller had an extra NOS glass, NOS sensors (all of them for each hole, NOS side art, and NOS spare belts.

It is basically just a small computer under the control panel, two motors and two belts...... Very easy to service.

I don't know about play, but I can tell you which one does a better job at wrapping christmas gifts on and holding parts while I shop other machines..... LOL

Alright, I guess I should post an attendance list since this thing isn't that far away. I am going to soft cap this at 16, since it doesnt look like Ghostbusters will be here by then, it leaves me with 8 games (all completely brutal to play, this should be a quick night), so if one goes down, I dont want 20 people waiting on 7 games..... I guess it doesn't really matter, lets just play it by ear.

Doors open at 6pm, main event starts at 7pm. Info and address is posted in the detailed schedule information. This is a BYOB for alcohol event. I will have tons of soda, water, pizza, snacks, etc., but dont have a ton of beer on hand right now.

Gamelist

Rescue 911
Simpsons Pinball Party
Indiana Jones (Williams)
World Cup Soccer
Maverick
Phantom of the Opera
Sinbad
Gold Wings

Side Game
Ice Cold Beer

I didn't know what ReplayFX was, so I Googled it. It looks like it has games and cosplay.

Tim will have games. This much I know. The question now is: Tim, will you have cosplay?
