Chuck,
Those kits are usually just a simple autotransformer that boast the
filament voltage by 30% or so. Since it's a transformer it will work on
any AC voltage within reason. You just have to find one that matchs the CRT
plug. FWIW if those terminals have a cover over the CRT, take it off and
clean it and the front of the CRT. It's surprising how much dust gets in
between them over the years.

I got a couple of "free" VT320 terminals with
a system I picked up and they
both work but they are both pretty dim. (one is reasonably bright after a
30 - 40 minute warm up). Now in the video game market there are kits to
rejuvenate a tube but I don't know what the equivalent would be for a
VT320. Tony? Anyone? Is there anything I can do?
