I was able to pick up a data east checkpoint today. A craigslist add only 20 miles from me. From what I can tell so far, the only major issues are a burnt GI connector for the backbox and a few broken drop targets. I plan on shopping it out as soon as I get the parts I need. Lucky for me the display works perfect with no lines missing and the shaker motor still works good as well. I don't have pics yet (but it did happen)
 
Burnt GI is normal on Data East games. Once you redo the connectors for the GI, you will want to replace the Fuse Clips as they often break as well.

I had a Checkpoint, pretty fun to see how "fast" you can go up the ramp.

Post some pics!
 
Here's a couple

Looks like a nice machine. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

I checked classicarcades on eBay to see if they sold the stickers for the drop targets and they don't appear to have them. Bummer.
 
nice

guess if you didnt pull the trigger on the LAST ACTION HERO
you musta had a ROLL burning a hole in your pocket !
 
Marco specialties show having the target decals in stock. Yes this is the one they were asking 900 for.
I really kicked myself for not getting the LAH at the auction, so I guess buying this was to ease the pain.
