Has anyone heard of anyone replacing the monitor of a classic Mac (Plus, SE, Classic) with an LCD? If so are there any directions floating around?

The CRTs for them are common enough still that I wouldn't [personally] even consider it. Analog boards also pop up very regularly at auction. With all the unfortunate battery bombed SE/30 logic boards, the analog boards and CRTs typically escape alive.
Also the power supply for the machine is involved / mounted to the Analog BD, so replacing the tube with something else would possibly start you down a road where keeping the Logic board original, or at least powering it, would then become difficult.
Thanks
I’ve heard of LCDs in them, more often in Color Classics. I don’t have any instruction though as I haven’t done that mod myself. Should be some info on the Color Classic sites.
I've actually designed and have made a PCB that takes ATX power in, and connects to the plus/classic/ii motherboard and outputs over a HDB15 - haven't built it out yet though, life has got in the way
