SUPER RARE FRANKLIN FUTURE CHAMPS ELECTRONIC TABLE TOP ICE HOCKEY – COMPLETE – WORKING!
Here is another one you simply do not see very often. Most collectors who recognize this style of motorized hockey game know the much more common Radio Shack Ice Hockey version. This one is the far scarcer Franklin Future Champs Table Top Ice Hockey Game—and finding one this complete and actually working is a serious collector find.
This is not just a static tabletop hockey game. Inside are electric motors that actually move the players up and down the rink, creating fast mechanical hockey action while each side uses the controls to battle for the puck. It is one of those wonderfully over-engineered vintage games from the era when manufacturers were trying to bring arcade-like action into the home.
And this one WORKS.
That alone matters because these old motorized games are notorious for failing after decades. Gears, motors, contacts, switches and moving player mechanisms all have to cooperate for the game to function properly.
Even better, this example still has the extra players, multiple pucks and accessories shown in the photos, along with the original Franklin box. The side storage areas are still loaded with the additional pieces, which is something you almost never see on loose examples.
The box does show age, edge wear and handling from storage, so please study the photos carefully. The game itself presents very nicely for its age and has been tested working.
If you collect Franklin electronic games, Radio Shack electronic games, vintage tabletop sports games, mechanical games or unusual electronic toys, this is the version you want.
The Radio Shack version turns up.
The Franklin version does not.
Complete, working examples are even harder.
This is a fantastic piece of vintage electronic sports-game history and a very difficult one to replace once it is gone.
Add this to your am listing a massive collection of vintage electronic games, game consoles, and arcade memorabilia.I have fiddled with vintage games for more than 45 years. If you are a serious collector...or looking for the perfect nostalgic gift for someone who grew up in the 1970s, ’80s, or ’90s...you may have just hit the jackpot. Many of my items are extremely rare, unusual, and sometimes one-of-a-kind finds, so be sure to check my other listings and check back often, as I am constantly adding new treasures from the collection.
I believe in describing every item openly and accurately to the best of my ability..I do not intentionally hide flaws or problems. With the nature of these old games they will almost always have some little issue...buttons don\'t press perfect, screens faded, small scuffs or wear from play.... battery covers don\'t stay on perfect. All games are sold as is due to the nature of these games. If I see something obvious I will point it out.Please study all photos carefully, as the photos are 95% of the description and show exactly what you are buying. I am always happy to combine shipping whenever possible. Unless specifically stated in the listing, batteries are not included with electronic games. Yes I combine shipping on all US orders. I do not combine shipping on International orders. I will not label boxes as gift. International shipping can take extra time. I only use Global shipping. The price you see for shipping is what is collecting...not me. International orders are responsible for duties and taxes. does not have a process in place for this. All items are insured. Shipping price includes packaging and time for labor, etc. Thanks for looking, and enjoy the hunt—you never know what rare piece I’ll list next!
Don’t let this chance pass you by. Own it.
NOTE...You may see a number and a letter in the Title like \"A1\" this is a label for me telling me the location of the game in my house so I can find it quickly amongst all of the games listed. Thank you
