No. Sorry guys. I meant that the video displayed was crisp and clear
but just dim. The tube clearly had burn-in, like an RT-11 DIR display

Nothing new in the box-- these came from a barn after salvage from
telephone central offices. They clearly served their time.
Only thing I have new in the box are a few replacement CRTs and so now having
proved there is nothing wrong with the electronics in this unit, it will get
one of the new CRTs.
