drventure:
That's gotta be one of the nicest looking bubble hockey games I've seen. I love the overall shape of it. it's not just a big box.
Nice score!

Hell, it would be a good deal if it were beat to ---Cleveland steamer--- at $200...

Agreed... in any sort of "playable" shape I'd normally see them listed with an extra zero at the end of that price.
The seller said that he'd never been able to get it working properly, but I've got a feeling he just didn't know what he was doing; worked fine for me once I got it wired up right.

Older style. Works, but definitely needs some serious cleaning.
I'm expecting this one'll be a total and complete tear down, clean out, and rebuild. All the parts seem ok, but its gunked up in there; balls stick in several places.
Don't have any pics of it yet, but I'll see if I can hunt down the camera here and take some.

Congrats....although I couldn't ever see the joy in those hockey machines. In fact, they seemed very little machine, and it was too easy for the puck to go dead. Foosball all the way.

Its a Canadian thing...
My wife can't understand it either, she'd much rather I had a fooseball table than the bubble hockey. She's dutch, though, so its not surprising that she'd far rather watch soccer than hockey.
Can't say that I've ever seen the puck go dead in one of these either, but just about any game I've seen played usually required that spectators stand back 3 or 4ft lest they end up getting whacked by one of the players flailing arms.
