Ok i am new to this and was wondering if either a wg 25k7191 or a wg 25k7401 work in the cruis'n' usa i picked up

That game needs a medium resolution monitor and both those monitors are standard resolution so no they wouldn't work.
 Is there currently a dead monitor in the game or is it missing the monitor all together?

There was a monitor that was in it.  The board was missing off the back of the tube.  I thought maybe i could make a quick swap.  So, i guess now i need to learn how to repair that monitor and i have an extra standard res monitor.  Lol all i wanted in the begining was to just run roms.  Now i have a bunch of stuff that is becoming a lot of work

using arcade monitors is a lot of work, unless you can afford to find and ship a fully working one or live in a place where lots of working monitors are plentiful.

otherwise be prepared to spend a lot of time digging for parts, jumping on opportunities to get parts at a moment's notice, drive a ways to get monitors, and learn how to diagnose and fix them.

I have 5 in various stages of working to not working and its been a very interesting challenge so far but pretty satisfying to bring them back from the dead. your milage may vary.
having said that I'm very new to all the monitor stuff and still working my way to the top of the learning curve. but I dont' reccomend messing with them unless you really want to. the amount of stuff you have to learn can be daunting.

So you have the main board on the monitor but not the neck board?
  Take some pics of monitor and it can be identified. Then maybe you can find a neck board online.
  Of course that may be a WG u2000 or 5000 in which case it may have other issues anyway.

Of course the whole monitor issue doesn't matter if your plans are to remove the arcade board, install a PC and run something like soft 15khz.
If those are your plans, then use one of those standard res monitors.

I do not see myself fixing it.  Maybe i can convert into something that will use a standard res monitor rather easily or just trade it for something else.  The only real reason i started doing this is for fighting games.  This cabinet is not one i was going to do anything with anyways.  If cruis'n worked cool if not then i have ectra space being taken up.

if you need either the wg 25k7191 or a wg 25k7401 fixed i can do it for you.
