| Here are the assorted parts for the PC version of the B/W Quickcam.
Unlike the Macintosh version, the CCD chip on the PC version is on the
opposite side of the circuit board from the rest of the camera's circuitry.
My intention for this camera is to add a fan for air cooling, perform the
ABG modification, and install a small switch to turn the anit-blooming
gate function on and off. |

|
| I embedded the brass ring from the quickcam into the
PVC fitting by heating it and compressing it into the opening. Thus,
it functions as a bushing for the black plastic lens cover that mounts
over the CCD. |
|
 |
 |
| The optical tube is made from 1.25" brass drain pipe. Attached
is a standard plastic compression fitting. |
|
| A PVC ring was prepared to fit over the compression fitting and
attach to the front of the main camera mounting plate. |

 |
| The camera mounting plate is then inserted into the gray plastic
ring. |
|
The CCD board then fits into the brass bushing.
