Not sure this is the proper forum, but I didn't know where else to put it. With my extra time amidst all of this pandemic stuff, I decided to build something that I have been thinking about for a while: a test stand that will let me test various components of compact Macs without tearing apart one of my machines every time to do it. The goal will allow me to have the analog board, logic board, floppy, and peripherals all easily accessible. It is small to be able to store it, and will allow the testing of compact CRTs as well. With the base CRT, I can test all but late-model Classic II analog boards. Currently, I am building the structure part, the photos are attached here. I will update you on how things are going. Most of the structure will be done by tomorrow.
The last thing that I need is to know what the Mouser part numbers are for the yoke deflector connector, both male and female. I am making extensions for all of the cables to allow me to lay out the parts easily. I suppose I also need an extra long internal floppy connector.
The first photo is the main structure: this is where the monitor will be mounted. You can see the mounting points (triangular pieces with holes in the corners).
This is the small table that will hold the logic board:
Lastly, this is the frame that will hold the analog board up. This will all make a lot more sense once it is all together in one photo.
