Got a Wells-Gardner (can't remember the model) on a game that plays blind. The monitor originally worked fine. I have been moving the cabinet around doing minor cosmetic repair and powered the game up last night to find the monitor dead. I haven't had time to start to look at it, but does anyone have idea for the first place to look. I'm guessing this has probably happened to a few of you out there. Thanks.
 
Since you just moved it, look for the obvious. Loose connectors, daughterboards, neckboard, loose fuses. After that, check for heater glow and voltage to the chassis.

Get a mirror and with one hand and tap a plastic piece against the chassis as your looking in the mirror and see if a certain section makes connection and you see a picture. crack solder joint then.
Maybe the AC(maybe you dont have ac as a wire came off the isolation transformer. check fuse, check and see if you have 110 at monitor plug) came loose from the chassis. turn up the flyback and see if you have a raster.
maybe your neck board came loose and needs to be pushed back on all the way. no heater voltage and you will not see the picture even if everything else is working.
