  Has anybody tried to equip an ordinary SE (or a Plus, since they're
  not that dissimilar when it comes to the electrics), with a contrast
  control, to be used alongside the standard brightness one?

  The goal is to have dense, black letters on as grey a background
  as possible.  Turning the brightness all the way down doesn't solve
  the problem since then the letters/ foreground contents become grey
  also.

  The solution ought to be easily applied _and_ potentially removable.
  
( Please, no suggestions of a Reverse-Screen INIT or similar. The
  Macintosh graphic interface hasn't been designed to be displayed in
  white-on-black one bit/pixel mode as anybody looking at the spooky-
  bright window elements/ lines of a reversed screen can see for
  herself. )
