hafner Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I have been looking in vain for a monitor stand wide and tall enough to clear my Adam, but recently found one that works nicely. I bought a few of these stands for my TI99/VIC-20/C64, and decided to give it a try on the Adam despite the dimensions not looking large enough. To my surprise, it's just about perfect; the beveled sides of the Adam fit right between the legs, and the stand just barely the top of the Adam's case. The result is that the stand doesn't dwarf the Adam (as it frankly kind of does for the other computers I bought it for). Anyway, this may not be the most riveting subject, but since I had been searching for a solution for a little while, I thought I'd share. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hafner Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) Well,Chris, looks like you could make afortune off this stand, it looks GREAT!! Package takes flight Wed. Fits to a T!!! Well, thanks! Just to make sure it's clear, though, I don't have any financial involvement with this stand - I don't make them or sell them. Though I guess I'm financially involved now since I have to buy another to replace the VIC-20s that I stole away.

ValkerieSilk Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Darn, it doesn't look like it will work with expansion mod 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamcon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Darn, it doesn't look like it will work with expansion mod 3 Sure it will, the expansion model 3 is thinner width than the standalone. The back is open for th cv unit, so it should work great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hurray! ... That's good news, Thank you! Your order was placed. View order details. We'll send you an email confirmation soon. Estimated delivery: Fri, Oct. 07–Tue, Oct. 18 And if width wise is good, the Expansion Mod 1 should fit too by the looks of it... Sure it will, the expansion model 3 is thinner width than the standalone. The back is open for th cv unit, so it should work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hafner Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'm not sure what happened to my original link, apologies to all! Unfortunately, I think the replacement product posted above will work. That's the Jr., which is 14 inches wide; the one I used is the large (30336) which is 18 inches wide. Here's another link to the product, hopefully this one lasts a little longer. Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I received mine and got it setup... I don't think the expansion mod will fit, but I really need an extender cable for that anyway (doesn't someone make that???). It fits so closely that you can just get a piece of paper between the Adam and bottom front stand bezel. I love it, Thank You! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIAD Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Add me to the list of people very happy with the suggestion of that monitor stand! Thanks Hafner! coleco adam.jpg Hey TPR, two things: - that disk drive sitting on top of the monitor makes me extremely nervous!!! - find yourself an ADAM AutoDialer to use as a donor shell for the SGM so that it's color coordinated to the rest of the system. I know, I'm being anal! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hey TPR, two things: - that disk drive sitting on top of the monitor makes me extremely nervous!!! It's actually very secure. Those 1702 monitors are pretty deep and it fits perfectly on top. My desk space is pretty limited as it is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Can anyone confirm he dimensions of the stand? I have a bunch of these at work (that we might be throwing out), and I don't have my Adam handy I have a larger and a smaller size... the larger is approximately 18" x 9-3/4" (about 46 x 25 cm) on the surface only. Height is about 5-1/4" or 13.4 cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValkerieSilk Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 18.5 in (l) x 12.25 in (d) x 5.25 in (h) .... but with expansion mod 3, expansion mod 1 won't fit as the legs are in the way... The standalone Adam appears to fit atop the legs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
