    Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone can help me with this bubble hockey. Just bought it off of a customer I did some Work for. Can’t seem to find how old this Canada v Russia version is. Also seems the pick gets jammed sometimes after a goal is scored.scoreboard works great. Also have never seen these metal plates across the goal line and if they are needed?. I apologize if this has been cleared up before, but I’ve always wanted one of these and I jumped on it for a good price. By the condition, I’m going to have to revamp this machine to bring it back to the glory days shape it once was in. If anyone can provide any tips that would be great! Didn’t know where else to turn and can’t seem to find one anywhere online.

    Quoted from latenite04:

    Congratulations. That's an original Chexx from the early to mid 80's. I believe the red bases were on the ones that shipped to Canada. The metal plate looks like a fix someone added, the ice has a tendency to crack behind the goalie. You can still get most of the parts from ICE.
    If you want to restore it to the original look you can get new Canadian decals here.

    Thanks for the info! Very excited!

    Quoted from Hockeey:

    Super Chexx Original parts from manufacturer. Might be worth a call to them as well. Good find. https://www.icegame.com/category/22/super-chexx#parts

    thanks I will give them a shout!

    Hello again all. Just wondering if anyone can help with a couple questions. So I picked apart my original chexx. But can’t seem to figure out how to remove the top from the base as I would need to take it in two pieces to fit it in the basement..it’s currently in the garage. Also this is how it looks inside after I took off the playing surface and ramps which I will be replacing along with handle grips . Any recommendations of any other things I should look to replace? Also the key did not come with the machine to open the control box if anyone knows how I can get one or get access to the box a different way? But the most important is trying to figure out how to remove the top as it doesn’t seem like the same set up as the ones I’ve seen online... thanks in advance!

    Quoted from Who-Dey:

    Mine just has 4 hex bolts underneath that connects the base to the top but my game is new. Cant imagine the old ones being any different but maybe they are. You might have to drill the lock out to get into the coin door. I wonder if you will find a bunch of money in there?

    That’s what I’ve seen online. But mine doesn’t look like it’s the same set up. But I guess I can just order a manual online that might have an explanation. Thanks for the info and the lock suggestion lol

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    I wouldn’t remove those grips if I were you. Clean them instead. Red grips are unobtanium, and putting black grips on would be a big hit on originality. I would only replace the grips if they were truly damaged.

    I was thinking that. Any suggestions of what would be best to clean them with, without wearing out the rubber? Thanks for responding!

    Quoted from Blitzburgh99:

    Is your ice surface cracked? If not, just replace the plastic resided ramps behind the goals with new ones. This old ice surfaces without all the “www.icegame.com” and “super chexx” plastered all over them is very valuable from an originality perspective. Sometimes, too much is really too much. Keep that thing cosmetically as original as possible.

    Yes there is a crack on the Russia side for one of the player slots , and where the goalies sit both had metal Plates which are warped, when I took one off the spot was cracked badly and the other side the back end of it where the net is was completely gone. I might just cover it up somehow the super chexx if I get one. But thank you for responding!

    Quoted from latenite04:

    These should be your 4 mounting bolts.
    [quoted image]
    They should be accessible through holes in the base like this. You need a long 1/4 allen wrench. Post a picture of the under side, maybe someone will notice something.
    [quoted image]

    thank you! After looking they do look like what holds it into place, but no access on the bottom side under. Where the bolts line up, it is internal in the base.

    Hello everyone. I’d like to thank everyone for the advice on helping answer all my questions with my 83 Canada v Russia machine. I figured out splitting the base involved me getting in the coin box side and control box side to get the screws out to removed and in two pieces to get the machine in my basement. But the struggle was not done there... I then had to cut a small hole in my stairs wall leading to the basement to maneuver the base down the narrow stairs lol...commitment ...all in all I have it in the basement and my brother ended up being my first victim lol and also have taken the advice to keep things original as possible. Only thing I would need any tip with would be to figure out what to do with the cracked goalie slot. If anyone has a repair tip would be great!
