It does this when it can't detect the ball.

Check your wiring and switch at the ball return location at the bottom where
the ball exits the chute.

Thank you i just checked and i traced the wires back to the pcb and the
switch is working properly, and the ball is reasting on top of it.
the machine is not sweeping the bar or even moving it it is just
hitting the seloinoid. the only time i can get it to move the bar is
if i turn it off and move it to the middle, it will then put the bar
into the previously described location.
also having no display on it is worrying me.

I have the beer game as well and everything works but I need the drive belts ...anyone know where I can get them? email me if yo know of a place dwetzel@optonline.net

Thank you :-)

I found replacement belts on Ebay... keep checking around.

I have the Ice Cold Beer Game as well... but the newer version by Innovative Concepts In Entertainment (ICE) ...and it works great.

However, I do not lose a ball....when it goes into the wrong hole.

I get 3 balls per quarter... and it will remain at 3 balls.

Only way I lose a ball is if I run out of time.

What setting do I need to change?

Does it do this only on 'easy' mode?

i.e. if I switch it to Difficult...will it charge me for a ball, when I drop it into the wrong hall (which is the way I'd like it.

Any help, programming advice...would be appreciated.
