I just wanted to post a couple pics of my NeXT 86040 turbo mono after cleaning it up. It wasn't filthy but I spent a couple hours just getting into all the nooks and crannies to get it as clean as possible. I think it looks pretty good now. I'm enjoying playing around with it quite a bit, soon to get into the technology, time hasn't been available much lately. So much for being retired.
You can't see the 'fins' on the monitor but I went through those with a slightly damp paper towel and kebab stick to clean that up. It looks about 1000% better than it did.....

So I took one more picture to show the fins around the monitor. It probably hasn't been this clean since the box was opened....... :-)
The other thing I didn't mention was the 'screen' blanking wasn't correct so I played with that for a while today and got it perfect. Now when the monitor goes into screen saver mode, it's black. I have more than enough light to view anything on the monitor after setting it up like this. A little at a time.
