Where can I get parts for a Plus 1mb/how much do they cost?

I got a gutted Mac Plus 1Mb from my school with only the case and CRT, how much would it cost me to get the parts to make it a full Mac and where do I buy them?

So I guess you are missing the logic board and internal floppy drive? Does it have the internal chassis that the floppy drive/logicboard attach to?

Honestly I'd say at this point, unless you get lucky with finding some parts on eBay, another spare Plus is where you would find parts.

However, put up a Trading Post on this forum and somebody may have some spares they could ship to you. Whereabouts are you located?

Also missing the analog board, I think the chassis is there but I will check later.

Honestly, unless you are dead-set on keeping/making it a full Mac, I would just get a complete one. Going by eBay prices, you're going to spend $50 on an analog board, $50-$75 on a logic board, $50+ for a floppy drive, plus more on little stuff if it needs it like screws. Or you could spend $50-$100 on a complete Plus (without extras).

Ok, would it be possible to turn this one into an external monitor?

I would think a better idea is to do the inverse: buy a complete one, and keep this one for parts.

I'd get in touch with @tafkar and see if they'd be willing to ship their Plus to you. Swap the bucket and front panel from yours if those parts are better to his machine's chassis, install a working floppy drive, then go from there.
