So do I, actually...and it's cluttering up my hall.  I transplanted its CRT 2-3 years ago into an SE/30.  The SE/30's was all burned-in and dim, but that particular Plus' was bright and in great shape.  The operation was a success, but the Mac Plus has been headless ever since.  It's a great candidate for either aquariumization or some other yet-to-be-conceved hack.

I always thought it would be fun to take a Mac Plus in that condition, and take out the bottom and put the top back on. Paint the inside black. Then you cut a hole in a table the night before a vintage computing convention, and put a table cloth over the table (make sure it has a hole in it too) and hide under the table with a horribly demented mask. The next day when people come to use the Mac, pop up your head from under the Mac...  :twisted:

Hehe.. sounds like a "horror hack."

A neat thing to do is gut the Plus, get a bunch of cans of spray paint, and paint the inside. The key is to hold the nozzle really close to the walls of the Plus, so the paint runs instead of sprays. Then, swing and tilt the Plus around to get these really crazy swirls of paint inside. (My fish will be tripping inside that Plus once I get the aquarium built!)

Nice. Dont forget the Pink Floyd music and the black light.
