Is there a source for these online or to purchase?

Would love to have something on the NeXT Laser Printer.  May just need to tear it down and buy a pooped out one that had bad rollers or something to revive mine.  Hate to dive in without proper way to get inside.

So, anyone know a source for tech guides for the old NeXT systems?

Well, here's some info that I hope leads to a funny story...

Bell Atlantic took over support when NeXT punted hardware.  Service information had to have been delivered, perhaps someone cloned it.  Here's some contact info:  2323 Industrial Parkway West, Hayward, CA  94545,
800.499.6398, fax:  510.732.3078 (Might also be 510.266.3000 and 510.732.3068).  And a name:  Terry Hawes.

Interesting prices from 1995:  ND board ($528 exchange/$1950 new), Turbo Cube board ($523/$2500), 660MB drive ($1267/$2000).

I tried them for the heck of it.

800.499.6398  (can't access from my calling area it tells me)

510.266.3000 (some lady answered and has no clue about NeXT)

510.732.3068 (Kasier Medical Group answered.  I guess they do repair people <grin>)

Didn't ronfronberg buy all that stuff from Bell Atlantic when they decided to get out of the NeXT support business,  so it is no surprise that you could not find a working number.  

He just sold off all that stuff recently, so probably would not have any parts either.  If he did have parts you need, hopefully the person who bought all of it will be willing to sell items.

So, anyone know who is the new person that purchased all this stuff?  

You would think they would be a member here?  Is this not about the only forums that have anything to do with NeXT?

Or is there some other NeXT site that have user forums I am missing out on??
