I just checked back into this coin after years of not paying attention, I had coins in the old POW wallet I followed what I read for converting to the POS wallet, backed up the wallet.dat, moved it to the new POS wallet, let it sync up, fully synced now but no coins are showing. I too get the checkpoint is too old, is that why my coins haven't shown up? Made the shortcut to the wallet and added "-salvagewallet" to the end of the target.
Hey Andrew. Welcome back

Can't help you with converting wallet POW to POS, never done that myself.
But to check your wallet go to the chain explorer:
