This is about the only kosher method of fitting a color tube into a Compact that I've come up with. It'd be perfect on the Plus, for which it was undoubtedly designed. The angles would be tricky, the height of the board on the back is the limiting factor.

I can't remember where they're posted, but I've got shots showing the sometimes available $40 10" Color CRT fitted inside the ZipMacPlus™ shell. It might fit inside that case . . . if I had one. If I can get the neck to fit, possibly by tilting the CRT just a tad, I'll one day fake one up for a Plus or use the CRT in a frog inspired ProtoMacHack.

edit: now that I think about it, the Bacster would be a great rapid prototyping project for a production run, especially so considering the SCA drive/adapter project as applied to the stock Plus.
