Attention NeXT Owners

I acquired some NeXT stuff. At this point it does not looking too
promising mostly due to the monitors (all mono). The ones I have
fired up are very dim and require a flashlight to be able to read
the screen. Some questions for the list:

I have adjusted the screen control on terminals like the VT320, so
I was wondering is there a comparable control in the NeXT N4000
monitor?

Depending on the monitor situation, I may have some spares with regards
to keyboards, mice, cables, etc. I was wondering if the keyboards and
mice are hot swappable. Can I boot a machine and test several keyboards
or mice without a reboot for each?

Next I would like to know if there are any current owners that are looking
for a specific item to get their machine up and running. Granted we all
know that there are plenty of list members wanting to acquire the first NeXT,
But at this point I don't know if I am going to have even one good complete
machine out of the mess. Therefore I would like to hear from those
that just need an item or two. I am not offering at this time, just
trying to get some direction as I tackle the job of discovering what
I have and what works. If and when I figure that out, I will post
what is available.

Thanks,
Mike Thompson
