Teisco Checkmate66-front

This is the 3rd version of the Checkmate 66 amp that I've seen. There sure were a lot of Checkmate amp models made. Someone must have been buying them!

I know that they were very inexpensive at the time they were first made and were available at Sears, Roebuck & Montgomery Ward department stores, as well as Western Auto etc. They used to be considered junk but now have a certain collectible vibe, as they represent that 60's/70's era of garage bands on every block!
