I'm sure it can be done but you're going to get a lot of hate for even suggesting that.

One does not typically put a LCD into a game.

Have you looked for the requisite CRT monitor? They exist.
 
The red tent is an 18" monitor, the cocktail is probably 14".

Popeye cocktail worth more with original crt in it. I've only seen a popeye cocktail once at an auction. Kind of rare.

Best bet is to fix/maintenance the monitor(s) in the red tent. Whats wrong with them?
 
+1 for fixing what you have.

In addition to the potential CRT size differences that were mentioned, Nintendo games of that era use inverted video, so that's another initial hurdle for LCD.
 
In other words..... NO ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO PUT AN LCD MONITOR IN ANYTHING except a E-waste receptacle...

YMMV,
Dylan
