Blue Chexx/Red Chexx Compatibility

[Eric]

This might be a basic question, but I have an 83 blue base machine that I am restoring. I just got a brand-new red base straight out of the box from ice from a guy who didn't need it, and I'm wondering if I can use that to replace the sliced up blue base that I have. Are there any compatibility issues that would prevent me from doing this? Thanks!

Should be a direct swap. I also have the 83 edition. But i have red bade looking to redo it with a blue base.
