Plus Screen in an SE/30?

I found an abandoned SE/30 the other day and was just now opening it up to swap out the busted floppy and install a large hard drive. While giving the power cable to the mother board a good tug I hit the end of the monitor tube and heard a slight crackle. I couldn't see any major damage so I powered it up to see if by chance i still had video. The blank screen, loud popping and blue spark told me i didn't I've got a Plus at work that I could pull a screen from if they're compatible. Any ideas? Or would someone like to talk me out of parting out a really clean Plus? I was excited to find the SE/30 since its got a network card in it and I've wanted a compact mac to serve as a bridge between my OS X machine and my LaserWriter Select 360. And no I don't want to use the Plus for this...having the internal hard drive in the SE/30 is much better. Tom

I broke the neck on the CRT in my /30, but it never booted from the start, that's why it was a freebie from the thrift shop. jt ™. Trash Hauler: call sign: eight-ball C.O. AC-130H SpecOps 68kMLAAF
