Quoted from tdiddy:Can a chexx be modded up the same way as a super chexx? With the Jumbo tron and acrylic boards?
Yes it’s $995 plus tax on the ice website it’s called the upgrade

Great video Zach
Quoted from YZRider926:Damn that is pretty badass. I briefly checked the site out and some of those mods are pricey. After watching the video though I can see why.
Definitely worth it! I am saving up for it, can’t wait
Quoted from mamemaster:So I did the Super Chexx - to Super Chexx Pro conversion. Some observations - the kit contains just about everything you need, but it was lacking any sort of real instructions. They do have about a 50 minute video - but it does leave out a few details that took me a bit to figure out. I've never taken this apart - so it was learning process for that as well.
My base machine was a HUO 2004 machine.
I'm assuming if you're on Pinside - you've likely fixed a pin, or renovated one (I have done both many times lol) - but this kit is NOT for the faint of heart! You are literally taking apart your machine and stripping out all existing wiring (except for the ribbon cable), new PCB, new powersupply, the ice surface, all new players, new LED goal lighting, new stickers/art, and of course the star the new LCD jumbotron.
In some instances you have to use adapters to keep the original ribbon cable, and the "ooh" sensors.
I took my time - and won't lie, this is my kind of project I had fun doing it. But - upon boot - it sat DOA.
I was able to get it to run perfectly, if I turned it on off a few times (literally about 4 or 5 times - it would then boot.) I was guessing it was the power supply, but to be safe I took my time and spent about a week taking it apart again, to check all wiring, and no matter what I did it wouldn't boot on the first try.
Eventually I caved and emailed tech support - and it turns out it was a bad main PCB SD card (so they believe). They are going to send me a new one - and I'll report back. But again, I can get it to run - but definitely not ideal to turn it on/off over an over.
They did forget to send me the LED light bar upgrade I ordered, and there's a metal threaded piece that secures the jumbotron at the top that was also missing. So - no worse than any of our beloved pin manufacturers. They did rectify everything fairly quickly.
Anyway - this ain't cheap - but you can't argue it's a great upgrade and if we could upgrade pins like this - I know we all would lol.
I love the way it looks - and you would never know this was a 2004 base machine![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Awesome job, Thank you for the info. I am also thinking about doing the upgrade, was going to buy a new one but I figured it’s only $1100-$1200 for the upgrade and I can sell the old stuff for probably $500
