Allegedly you can get it though a 32-inch door with some creative twisting. I have about a 31.5 inch door so I opted for a split base which is a little more setup as I had to disassemble it, but it easily fit through the door when split. Call ICE and ask them. They will know.

Does your game have the net curtain installed?

http://www.icegame.com/p-24265-net-curtain.aspx

This is needed to reduce/eliminate bounce outs.

Gord

SC3002A.jpg

No, the net curtain is a thin film of clear plastic that covers the front of the plastic goal and absorbs the energy of the shot so that the puck doesn't BANG off the back of the plastic goal and ricochet back onto the ice surface. After the puck nestles into the net curtain it drops into the plastic goal.

Gord

Yup, you got it now. That is correct.

Gord

That is strange that you are getting bounce outs with the net curtain installed. I have only had my game since October of 2014, but I don't recall ever having a bounce out.

Gord

With your HF lift table underneath it appears that your Super Chexx game is levitating. Sort of cool.

Gord

I thought so. I wanted more of an official arcade look and if you ever sell it down the road you will find that a lot of collectors will want the coin door.

If you don't ever envision selling the game under any circumstances and you don't want the coin door for your own personal use then it may make sense for you to forego the coin door.

Gord

My USA vs. CCCP Miracle On Ice Super Chexx was purchased from ICE in October of 2014. Below are the dimensions of the base ONLY.

W: 36" (actually closer to 35.5")
L: 36" (actually closer to 35.5")
H: 31"

Hopefully this helps you out.

Gord

It might be worth renting a pickup for half a day or borrowing one from a friend.

Gord

Playfield Unit Dimensions:
L: 41" (55" with handles for hockey players which stick out on both sides of playfield)
W: 36"
H: 21-22" (From top of plastic dome to bottom of the playfield unit which secures to base)

Top Of Base Dimensions:
L: 26"
W: 26"

My Super Chexx also has the coin door and split base options. Make sure to bring several packing blankets and something to tie it down with in the event that you need to tie the playfield to the roof of your vehicle.

Gord

Hi Lermods,

Very nice score on that Super Chexx. It is in GREAT condition.

To turn your machine on/off you could do one of the following:

1. Install an inline switch.
2. Install a switchable power outlet on the wall (may require an electrician or someone who is handy with electrical systems).
3. Use a power strip and then turn the power strip on/off to turn the game on/off.
4. Use X10 controls as I did in the photos below. I had extra X10 stuff laying around from a prior project and put it to use.

Also, you said that your game is a split base game, as is mine and this feature is shown in the last photo below. You can take the base apart to get it into/through tight doorway/hallway spaces. It is a little bit of a hassle to take it apart, but it is by no means brain surgery.

It is a great game. The only problem is you cannot play it by yourself like you can a pin, but that doesn't sound like an issue at your house.

Gord

Hi NCR,

That looks like a nice Super Chexx. You can likely tell the exact age by getting the serial number and then emailing ICE and asking them when it was manufactured.

My game does not have have the static speaker noise that you mention so I am not sure how to resolve that issue, but it doesn't sound normal to me.

I can tell by looking at your game that it looks to be very similar to my '1980 Miracle on Ice USA vs. USSR' model that I purchased new in September of 2014. Some photos of my game are below so that you can compare the two games for yourself.

Enjoy your new game as they are very durable and a blast to play.

Gord

A goal light mod for Super Chexx bubble hockey would be much in demand if someone can figure out how to create a plug and play mod.

Gord

I don't think you will regret either option in the long run. Many collectors will want the coin door option and the split base option is nice if a potential buyer down the road doesn't have a wide enough doorway.

So for an extra $300 you get both options. That may very well prove out to be money well spent.

Gord

True, but when I play against my stepsons who are of a lesser skill level and crush them it is actually quite fun for me.

Gord

Have you tried posting a WTB request for the single board for the old scoreboard on this Chexx site?

It might be worth a try if you haven't.

Hi NV,

As stated in the response above by meSz you should check out page 14 in the manual from the URL below.

Assembly of the Super Chexx bubble hockey game is really pretty easy, however, the difficulty factor rises exponentially with a 6-year-old asking you every 30 seconds if it is done yet.

Definitely put it together ahead of time if you have the means to do so. BTW, that is a heck of a nice Christmas gift for your family. Enjoy it.

Gord

When I purchased my Super Chexx Miracle On Ice edition back in 2014 it shipped in 10 days or so from the order date and took another 5 days or so to arrive.

Gord

That is a very nice example of a Super Chexx and it should sell at the price that you listed. GLWTS.

Gord

That is a very nice DIY mod with the split base. I have a split base which was performed at the ICE factory on a Super Chexx game that I purchased in September of 2014.

Your split base mod is basically identical to my split base which was done at the factory by ICE. You really did a good job on this split base mod.

Gord

DSCN0166 (resized).JPG

I agree with you. Below is a photo of my Super Chexx.

Gord

DSCN0162 (resized).JPG

That is sort of a cool little tournament. I like the format except for the timeout rule. I will give this a go the next time I have a house full of people.

Thanks.

Gord

That is a cool idea, the switch for the 'Oh Sensor' detects the metal inside the puck and then plays a sound. Would your custom pucks trip the 'Oh Sensor'? I am just curious as you wouldn't want to lose this feature.

I see that taylor34 beat me to the punch.

Gord

I just checked and confirmed for the solenoid assembly and you are seeing correctly (Old Super Chexx/Chexx is $81.80 and Super Chexx New Version is $52.80).

Plastic razor blades and Goo Gone will do the trick. The link below is for plastic razor blades. Scroll to the very bottom after clicking on the link.

Bubble hockey is a great game. My generation grew up playing the small rod hockey tables with the flat metal players, but the concept is the same as bubble hockey where you can pass the puck from the wings to your center and have the center quickly put a shot on goal.

The USA vs. USSR Miracle on Ice version (I have this version) is timeless. Enjoy your new purchase.

Gord

Hmm, I am not sure that I understand your question regarding the 'Miracle On Ice' version being the very first one that they made. Are you asking if this is the very first version of Chexx/Super Chexx that was created by ICE? I don't really know very much about the history of ICE and the chronology of the hockey themes for their bubble hockey games. Sorry

Gord

I have had my game for 5 years now and have never had any of the rods come loose. There is almost no maintenance required on these games in a HUO environment other than to occasionally wipe down the ice with lemon pledge to keep it nice and slippery for the puck. If you do need to do some maintenance YouTube has quite a few videos available which will help you out.

If you play it a lot and beat on the game a bit your mileage may vary. My bubble hockey game really only gets played when we have visitors as it is just me and my wife at home and she isn't much of a bubble hockey player.

Gord

The split base is very sturdy on my Super Chexx USA vs USSR Miracle on Ice edition. If you may need the functionality of a split base at some point down the road due to a narrow doorway then do not worry about this at all as it is rock solid.

Gord

DSCN0166 (resized).JPG

25 years ago I could always find one to play at Chuck E. Cheese franchises.

Gord

Is the game 100 percent level? That may make a difference.

Gord

Maybe the puck tolerances during manufacturing have changed. You may want to try a different puck to see if you still have the issue.

I was reading in this thread how some of the newer pucks seem to chip easier which seems strange. My Super Chexx (USA vs. USSR) is 6 years old and the puck still looks brand new and I have only had the puck get stuck once in the puck track that I recall and I picked up the table from one end and set it down and dislodged the stuck puck.

Have you called tech support at ICE? If nothing else they will likely send you a new puck to try out.

Gord

After a Christmas party a few years ago I noticed that there was a scratch in my Super Chexx dome and I was able to remove it completely using Novus 2 followed by Novus 1. Be sure to use a nice new soft clean microfiber towel when rubbing and buffing the dome using Novus 2 and then Novus 1.

It took maybe 15-20 minutes of hard rubbing by hand with the microfiber towel and Novus 2 and Novus 1 to complete the task. The scratch was not super deep, but it was noticeable and now all trace of the scratch has been successfully removed from the dome and the dome looks like new again.

Gord

Nice job on the riser base for your Super Chexx. I cannot do that to mine as the grand kids have to stand on a small stool as is to play the game.

Gord

Pinsider latenite04 used to offer up a player removal tool for sale. I am not sure if they are still available or not.

Those nets look pretty cool. Did you get the nets from the following URL?

https://www.chexxmods.com/thenet

I like what you did with the water bottle on the back of the net. The nets from Chexx Mods doesn't contain the water bottle for each net so I assume that you added this yourself.

Gord

Thanks for the response. I don't do Facebook, but I appreciate the lead.

Gord

I use the outlet switch from the Amazon link below so there is no power going to the game once the switch is turned off and I get zero hum when it is off. I see that this specific switch is currently unavailable, but there are other similar switches.

Gord

I purchased my 'Miracle on Ice' version in October of 2014 directly from ICE. The authorized distributors always seem to have their games priced the same as ICE. I don't think that haggling is really an option with the Super Chexx Pro games, but if you can get a few hundred off the ICE price then good for you.

Gord

I have had my Miracle on Ice Super Chexx game for a little over 8 years and just recently the long stick Russian player's stick broke. That is the only thing that I have had to replace on my game since I purchased the game in September of 2014.

In a home use environment these games are nearly maintenance free (unlike pinball machines). Wipe down the dome with a damp microfiber cloth when needed and some folks spray lemon pledge on the ice surface occasionally to keep it nice and slippery.

Gord

Hmm, so the dryer sheets make the ice surface nice and slippery? Oh, it probably smells good too. I will have to try this next time I open the bubble on my game.

Gord

Hi @goldenbeard,

That is a really good choice in picking the MOI (Miracle on Ice) 1980 USA vs. USSR version of the game. I purchased the Super Chexx MOI version back in September of 2014 and everyone loves this game and this version.

I like hockey much more than soccer so for me this was a no brainer to purchase and the game play can be fast and furious and there is very little maintenance required in a home use environment. In over 8+ years that I have owned it other than wiping the dome down with a damp microfiber cloth there is really not much else I have done to it and it still looks and functions perfectly. The next time that I open the dome I will wipe the ice down with a folded dryer sheet which according to desertT1 works very well for keeping the 'ice' surface nice and slippery.

Good luck in your quest to find your own MOI version of the game as I think that you and your family will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

Gord

When I ordered my MOI (Miracle on Ice) version back on 09/14/2014 it was shipped on 10/02/2014. I realize that was close to 9 years ago, but it really depends upon where your order falls in their queue as they likely have to put together a game that meets the specifications of your specific order.

Oh, I see that you specifically ordered a new set of CCCP players. That is likely the main cause for a delay. I ordered a full set of CCCP players on 08/15/2022 and they did not ship until 09/15/2022. ICE has to hand paint and clear a set of the CCCP players as they likely don't have them sitting around on a shelf waiting to send out.

I am sure others who have ordered more recently will chime in with their timeline on their ICE orders.
