hi all!
i've recently completed a project utilizing a Plus case to house a G4 Cube (
) and now i'm looking to do something with the innards of the Plus itself.
i hate to see the pieces go to waste (though the logic board is lovely piece of art for my office right now), so i thought i'd try and put the pieces into another case. maybe even try and build a Portable Plus...
however, part of the reason i chose this Plus to disassemble was that, though it had an intact and well-preserved case, the CRT was badly burned-in. i'd like to replace it, and being ambitious, i'd like to see what my options are.
one thought i had was to try and get external video working (i understand there are cables from "Power R" that will do the job, though i have yet to find one for sale). i have a variety of monitors and converters that could take a usable video signal.
another thought was to somehow connect directly to the analog board in the Plus and extract its video signal - in essence, build my own Power R cable thingy.
other than the usual caveat about working with or near a CRT, do the folks on this forum have any suggestions on how best to proceed?
