I've searched for years and finally snagged a Checkpoint pinball machine. If you aren't familiar with the Checkpoint machine it is all Porsche themed. I grabbed this one today in NH, it's as cool as it looks.
I'll have it out on free play at the Open House this year, so bring your reflexes!

Neighbors don't have to wait, stop by anytime, hell, jump from a moving train!

That's awesome! I had no idea they would have ever made such a machine. Amazing what's out there

Very cool!
You'd better set some rules on how much table tippin', jostling, etc. with that puppy!

Wow cool. At 50 cents a play I am guessing this is from late 80's early 90's?

I have a Checkpoint in my pinball collection of 16 games too. It was the very first game to feature a dot matrix display (though a small one). The game was released in 1991.
The first thing I did was removed the red 911 die cast and put a 914 on there.
This game will be for sale next year (thinning the herd) and Eric Shea has first right of refusal.
I have a few other racing themed games: Grand Prix -Mario Andretti - Indy 500

Did the Turbo Boost feature cost extra?

It's already paying off in terms of marketing. Walter from Austria flew over to buy some 356's and had a great time with the pinball machine. We didn't get much work done today....
