Title: Checkmate cab in MO, make offer.
Post by: paigeoliver on April 13, 2003, 10:36:00 am

Ok. I just picked up a pair of 70s Midway black and white games. I decided on getting one going, and parting the other. So here is what is available.

Midway checkmate cabinet. It is solid, but dirty. A bit of cleaning and some paint and it should come out just fine. It was complete minus boardset when I got it. I am keeping the monitor and all the internal parts to help with my other B&W game. I will leave it complete externally with the exception of the joysticks. My other B&W game uses the same ones, and believe me you don't want them anyway (mega weird).

St. Louis.
Florissant to be specific.

Here is a picture of the cab from KLOV. Mine looks just like it, except dirtier.

Also. That is a 4-player control panel, but it might be a bit more cramped than most 4 player machines. Since it is only about 2" wider than a normal cabinet. But on the plus side, those 2 extra inches means it could probably take a pretty good sized monitor (has a 23" in it now).

If no one gets this in a week it is going to get gutted and trashed. I have a Berzerk coming that needs to go into the exact space that the checkmate is in.

Ok, Chris Cotter is trading me some Turbo parts for it. So this baby is no longer available.
