Can I Fix My Broken Cruis'n Blast Monitor?
https://arcadeheroes.com - The backlight in one of my Cruis'n Blast machines went out recently and in contacting the distributor I bought the game from, they determined it was "unfixable." Fortunately, I sought a second opinion, where arcade operator TJ Beyer had recently repaired onw of his dead monitors, pointing me to this link to buy replacement lights and suction cups to be able to remove the LCD:

The monitor in question is a Wei-Ya Makvision 43", which originally came with the game. I've never done this before so it was quite an experience - it took about 6 hours but I condensed this into 30 min. Timecodes:
0:10 - Intro to the problem
3:40 - Removing bolts to pull the monitor out
4:16 - Removing the monitor
4:56 - Monitor on the air hockey table; Removing L brackets

21:36 - Reattaching brackets, panels
25:15 - Reapplying the foam
26:21 - Putting the monitor back onto the glass, aligning
27:24 - Reinstalling main L brackets
28:00 - DOES IT WORK OR DID I BREAK IT??
Except for one song, all music in the video is from Cruis'n World.
