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:
