Great game. I just transported ours to Canada with us on a fishing trip. Sure got some funny looks from the camp owners when we were carrying it in the cabin : )

Most played game ever in the game room. Had mine for 9 years now. E-bay usually has a good amount for auction. 2 play, 4 play, young & old. Everyone enjoys. Good luck!-Joe

Bump for an awesome game! I don't know if I would ever sell mine. I put a lot of hours into this bad boy and I still have some more things I want to design for it. I changed it to the 97' Penguins vs 2010 Blackhawks.

Good looking game DJ. Funny I just posted something similar on Ebay

Mine is a poor mans Super Chexx, but still fun.

What's really kinda cool, is I got this on trade and was complaining to my lady that it was really nice, minus some douche carving their initials in the dome. She was like "OMG, you didn't notice!?" and I'm like notice what? She points out the initials are M & C... her name is Michelle, mine Craig, lol. Anyway, had a chance to earn a few brownie points and blew it by not noticing haha. Was more upset someone would do that in the 1st place.

If you want to save a few bucks the original Chexx is a great option. I sold mine before a basement remodel, but I'd buy one back if one was for sale locally. I painted mine to be Gretzky (82-83 Oilers) vs Lemieux (92-93 Penguins). The bottom picture was actually the sideboard, which was never installed.

Yep, same here. Chexx is awesome.

I bought my original Chexx for $300, not working. Re-soldered a fat resistor on the power supply that fell off and it was back to normal. Found extra players to make a Toronto Maple Leafs -vs- Montreal Canadiens one day.

Great game. Good luck.

I've been trying to buy one for over a year now! Every time I find one I like, I've blown all my play $ on another damn pin! Lol oh well maybe some day

It depends on what your budget is. Shots on goal would be cool, but I just don't think it's worth an extra $500.

Still have mine that I got from the local CEC back in '86. Needs a little bit of work, but thankfully there are plenty of replacement parts available these days.

Good luck with your hunt!

I grew up playing it at the arcade, bought one 10 years ago (US versus Russians) and just traded it to tatman + cash for his Wh20. We just stopped playing it - it was time to go.

tatman will be doing a revamp on it and making it look perty. It is a great game - GLWH.

I just added a new dome. I have new players Chicago Black Hawks and Boston,came with all new decals,new ice. It is a fun game my boys are liking it a lot .

I bought an '83 Chexx about a year ago for $600. Sure it's missing the shots on goal, but with the money I saved, I was able to strip it down, powdercoat the metal body, repaint the plastic cabinet, have new decals made (www.thisoldgame.com sells them now), get a new dome, new goals, etc. I have a a beautifully restored game and probably about $1000 in it. I really couldn't be happier....now I just need to find people who like to play!

What is shot on goal?

Here is what I got image-823.jpgimage.jpg

My kids are still young, but I will probably pick one of these up myself in a few years.

Great game always use to love going to Showbiz(now chuckie cheese) and playing it when I was a kid..

Man this looks heaps fun

Out of all stuff I have, when my brother comes over its usually first thing we play.

I have a chexx machine. Can you swap the chexx players out with super chexx players?

I want one too now. I'll pay $3 more than Taylor34 is offering and am willing to drive 500 feet farther than he's willing to go.

I know that Chexx is the supreme brand, but what's the general feeling on other brands of bubble hockey?

Are there specific brands that are OK, or particular ones to stay away from?

Nothing comes even close, Chexx or nothing in my opinion.

Steve

I bought one for my daughter and son in law for a house warming gift. Now I don't mind hanging out with them! Fun game.

This is probably obvious, but this game is most fun when you have others around your same still level. It's not like pinball where you can always set a high score. Part of the reason I sold mine, besides the basement remodel, was that I simply didn't have any competition--I'm not even that good, but my friends all just seemed to really suck at the game.

Super chexx can be had brand new for about $2500.

I'm actually thinking about selling my HS & Pinbot to fund one. Cool games.

See I would have to be an idiot and need to get the coin door for the extra $200.00. It looks more authentic to me I guess.

Good luck. From what I read they're easy to repair and parts are readily available. The company that makes them is local to me, so I should be able to nab one at some point.

To answer someone's question- yes, the players are interchangeable between Chexx and Super Chexx. You just pull straight up on the players and they pop off. All of the visible parts are completely interchangeable as they are identical parts, except for the scoreboard. The only changes that I'm aware of are the electronics(circuit board, scoreboard, wiring, etc.) and a couple of of mechanical pieces under the ice surface like the upkicker unit that ejects the puck.

Tatman- yours appears to be the '83 version, but with a Super Chexx decal.

Like pinball, minor mods can be made. People put logos on the "boards", paint players, paint the ice. I added LEDs behind the ICE period lights.

I was wondering this myself. A friend of mine said he has one he'll sell me for $300.(he paid 600. yrs.ago), but I haven't seen it yet and don't know if it's a Chexx or Super, it does have a coin door is all I know.

So what is that "shot on goal" to look for?

BEST GAME EVER!!!!!

liked it so much I searched high and low for the sister game - Super Kixx.... and I found and bought it too.. but it pales in comparison to the chexx

to all you pool table owners.. idea.... SELL IT and put a super chexx in its spot!!!!

my 2 cents

Buy it regardless if you want it or not. For that price its a steal.

That's a great idea! Never thought of that, thanks.

... Tim Horton's, CBC, Moosehead, Crappy Tire, ...

As someone who sucks at Foosball...it's a very similar feeling. There are common shots in Chexx that the beginner player just doesn't even think to defend. An example is from the right defense with the puck back at your own goal. When you shoot it hard it raises over all of the sticks so you have to block it with your center or goalie. There is nothing intuitive for new players to pull your center back to defend when the puck is sitting next to the goal. It's a really nice looking shot too. The puck rockets to the upper corners of the goal.

But it has custom painted players.

This was one of my favorite games to play as a kid. I would love to own one some day myself. I see that you can get them with a split base or without. Is the only reason for having the split base to get it through narrower doors? Otherwise, does it matter?

Good luck with your search, OP.

Over new price

Yes. You need to have a 35" door to fit the non split base through a doorway if i'm not mistaken. I've been researching these and planned for it be my next purchase, untill MMR was announced. Who knows it still my be my next toy.

Ok. Thanks. I passed on MMR and am tearing a wall down in my house for more space, so I thought about buying one of the new ones.

Bump!

I have owned two Chexx machines. When I first bought one I was advised by several people not to buy one as "the novelty wears off quick and they make a lousy laundry table"! After owning one for a few years we used it enough that I decided to purchase a Limited Edition one in 2005. To this day it is still one of the games that gets the most use. Great game and now that you can buy them direct from ICE for a grand less then I could 8 years ago is great.

Wow, that is one sweet room.

Thank you!
