I'm googling like crazy but I have no idea what any of the stuff I'm supposed to look for is inside this thing. So I am most likely going the CRT/television route.

 :( That's no good. You should post a thread under the Monitor/Video topic. We have some great monitor gurus here that might be able to help.

Don't cut the cabinet, once you cut the cabinet you might as well put it directly in the dumpster because cutting the cabinet guarantees that it will end up there someday.

If you haven't married yourself to a layout yet then seriously consider just going with 2 player. In 14 years of being heavily involved in the arcade and mame hobby I have only played a single 4 player game with all 4 players present and that was on a 4 player Pong. You can have a TMNT cabinet on free play at a party with 25 people there and they will play 2 at a time rather than squeezing in for 4 player action.

Btw, wish you had offered that up on Klov before you started converting it, you could have easily gotten a much more suitable donor cabinet in trade for it (dedicated Quartets are really rare). I am currently working on rigging my Gauntlet cab to also run a Quartet board on a switching setup.

Honestly I have thought the same. It would just be much better to make a 2 player machine otu of it but I  really really want to make a 4 player TMNT machine. But the more I look at it the easier it would be to just make it 2 player.

Also I have gone on record about how much i personally don't like the game quartet. It's just not a game I like to play. If I can't get the arcade monitor to work and have to replace it, I'm most likely going to offer up the Quartet board for free here. I know it's blasphemy but I'd much rather someone else enjoy the game than for it to just sit here unused.

I'll be happy to cover shipping on the Quartet board just to have a spare.

You didn't offer him a year's worth of 24/7 support.  >:D
