That's a G07-CBO, a very common monitor. Never seen it happen before, myself, but a lot of people will say that if you replace the caps & leave the original flyback in there, the fly will fail soon after.

If the fly went, it probably took the HOT with it. You can get a rebuild kit with everything from https://www.arcadepartsandrepair.com/ or https://iankellogg.com/, both sell good quality parts. You might also want to replace the horizontal width coil, since they're usually very brittle and easy to break when installing the other parts.

That's pretty light burn for a G07, it'll probably look okay if you put a smoked plex in front of it.

Do you have an EPROM programmer? If you can dump a ROM, you can use MAME's romident function to figure out what it is. The MAME romset usually names the files after the ID and position on the board, so you can often figure it out by grepping the source for the text on the sticker over the EPROM window. Lastly, if there are identifying numbers on the boards anywhere, you can Google those and sometimes get a hit.

You should check the sides, looks like someone painted red over most of it, covering up the "LeMans" text.

Here's the manual and schematic: http://arcarc.xmission.com/PDF_Arcad...t_Printing.pdf

Good luck! LeMans is a fun game, classic B&W driver. It's from '76, so no CPU, it's built entirely from discrete logic.

I work with computers a lot so I have a whole workstation dedicated to reading and burning chips. It's in storage at the moment though but once I get a chance I'll pull it out again as a few people have asked for dumping it for the MAME folks.
I started to clue in that at some point the cabinet was painted because some scuffs and chips show the white underneath however I have no idea how to strip the paint off with ruining the decals.

Good, sounds like you'll know what it is soon. MAME is pretty comprehensive, it would be unusual to find something that wasn't in there already.

I'm not sure on the paint either. You might try isopropyl alcohol and a magic eraser on the back corner to see if that works.
