If you'd asked me you could've had one for nowt - I have many spares :)

The ADB port (apple desktop bus?). The symbol for it is a vertical line with
3 dots on it. It's next to the printer port - the one with a little printer
above it.

Yep. The empty socket is for a copro. Beware though that the PRAM battery is
probably dead....if you DO find a monitor for it (and keyboard and mouse),
switch it on and get the 'happy mac' sound but no picture that'll be what's
up.
