The tube might fit in there front to back, but the electronics to drive it as a computer monitor would be another thing altogether. It must be a standalone security cam display, but I can't figure out why it has BNC output.

Its a CCTV monitor. Analog ntsc.

You can pull the CRT and fit it in the mac but I dunno how well itll fit

Nor if the tube pin outs are the same. I remember years ago camneerg was running on a transplanted CRT Tube but the pins were not 100% compatible, producing a backwards image on the screen. That Mac Plus ran as a webserver for years!

I feel like it loaded too fast to still be on a Plus, it's not likely my ISP had it cached.

yeah even though its a text only page, still it poped up ultra fast.

i have went to webpages on se/30's and they were a little doggy.

Yeah, the CC page was more like it. Mobile Safari is one of the fastest browsers out there, so it's not a hardware restraint on my end lol.

A little digging reveals the mac plus one is not running on the plus. The server reports it's self as Apache 2.2. The CC one is running on the CC though, that reports itself as MacHTTP 2.6

Backwards image has absolutely nothing to do with CRT pinouts. Thats the yoke wiring. You would swap yokes anyway.

I wonder if swapping the yokes would mechanically work? if the correct yoke would properly mate to the new tube.

the diameter of the tubes are usually a standard. 

Color tubes, and black and white tubes are different neck diameters. 

The neck diameter on all black and white tubes. (speaking modern, vintage 60s and earlier irrelevant) should be the same size. The difference is the depth, because the depth of the tube determines deflection angle. 

I actually found this monitor a while back, and it interested me since Clinton actually made a lot of the tubes inside the old Macs.

Worth a shot if anyone has a lot of $$ to spend. 

how cool would it be to have a Amber or Green screen?

Green, just swap in the tube from the IIc monitor. Heck, there's an SE on eBay right now with that mod done.

I've seen Amber too.
