2022 has been dead quiet for Numskull, but things are starting to pick up. 2023 should see a return of regular releases. Space Invaders I and II went up for pre-order today. TMNT and Turtles in Time going up for PO in a couple months. Also, 1/4 accessories coming.

Live stream earlier with Numskull:

Not too much news, except that Space Invaders should arrive in November, then they claim they'll be back on track with delivering steady stream of products every two-three months. TMNT, Pepsi hub (up for PO soon), then the three Taito cabs they already teased (Elevator Action, Qix, Zoo Keeper).
Then they announced they have an additional seven cabs licensed, but can't reveal them yet. Presumably later this year.

Today Numskull revealed their last confirmation video for the five cabs they teased a few months ago. They are officially:
BurgerTime
Pong
Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja
Lunar Lander
The Real Ghostbusters
All coming late 2024/2025. Pre-orders not announced yet, but likely next year.
Their next three cabs (all Taito), Zoo Keeper, Qix, and Elevator Action, as well as the Pepsi USB hub and 7UP USB hub, should go up for PO by the end of the year, and be available in the first half of 2024.

Hi, I own several of these. Today, the display of my Bubble Bobble cabinet started showing a vertical white stripe. I contacted Numskul technical service, but to my dismay, they do not offer any repairs or spares out of warranty (I guess they just swap faulty machines for new ones). I could change the display by myself, but could someone here help me find the proper one?

Sorry to hear that.
I don't have any info about the screens, but I've thought about the situation you describe. It concerns me as one would like these to be serviceable, but so far that doesn't appear to be the case.
I know in the near future Numskull will be redesigning the battery to be replaceable, because laws will be changing in the EU mandating it. Maybe it's possible to do the same with the screens?
I know it's not ideal, but Numskull will be re-releasing their older cabinets shortly. Bubble Bobble is first up to be re-released, so you could replace it completely if need be.
Also, if you're on facebook, you should join one or more groups:
Numskull Quarter Arcades Fan Club
Official Quarter Arcades Fan Group
The "Official" Global Replicade (New Wave Toys) Fan Page
I'm more of a Quarter Arcades fan, and I know there are several members that tinker with their cabs, or even make custom ones. They may know of how to replace and source the lcd panel.

FYI, collectors are starting to receive their Space Invaders and TMNT cabs. More will be in stock late January for those who haven't ordered but are interested.
Pre-orders opened at Just Geek for the Pepsi and 7UP USB hubs a few days ago. They are limited, and exclusive to Just Geek.
Also, RoboCop has been confirmed! Numskull had to obtain three different licenses to be able to produce it.
