Sounds to me like you have it all figured out. If you just need it recapped, and neither have the skills nor interest to learn, then just take it to a local TV repair shop. I'm sure there's someone around the vast area of NY that still repairs monitors. They can easily re-cap one for you.
Installing it isn't so hard, unless you're just lazy and can't naturally lift 40 lbs.

But wait a sec... you got a new monitor, but it came with dull colours?  I don't see any mention of that in the sale you linked...sounds to me like you bought a faulty "new" monitor.

Luckily for you, the sale you linked has this:

No, the new monitor hasn't arrived yet.  The Vision Pro is the new monitor. 

Why is it so hard for people to understand I'm not equipped with the tools, nor do I have the time to swap out a monitor.  I get it's not that hard of a job, and I get people have sent me useful information on how to do it myself, but that's not what I asked for.   So like, yeah, who wants to make $300?  PM me. Does that make my intentions any clearer?

You don't have a wrench, or... hands?

Swapping in a new monitor is as easy as unscrewing the mount & unplugging the cables, lifting the monitor out of the cabinet, then swapping in the new one, hook up the cables, then being proud of yourself for getting your hands dirty.

What other tools do you think you need?

Here's everything that needs to be done.  This sounds like more work than just unscrew, screw in, no?

"I need to have a G07 removed from a new Ms Pacman with 60-in-1 board and a Vision Pro installed.

I am not sure the VP frame holes will match with the Ms Pacman support bars, so it may be necessary to either drill new holes and use bolts and nuts to secure the monitor frame, or remove the VP tube and chassis and put on G07 frame.

You will also need to change the input connectors so that they match the connector for the VP. The video input wires are already spliced using wire nuts, so it should be a quick job.

Please contact me if you think this is something you can do. Please indicated what you would charge. You are welcome to keep the G07 when you are done."

This is pretty easy stuff man. Owning an arcade machine is going to be more than just playing it, there is ongoing maintenance that will occur over time. You really should learn how to do the simple stuff at least, otherwise, you might be in over your head.
What happens if it blows a fuse, or joystick starts working erratic...I'm sure you don't want to pay $300 every time you need to replace a fuse or bend a leaf-switch.

If I were in the NYC area, I would be happy to take your 300 greenbacks for this 30 minute job.  Good luck.
