Hmm... ya. I apologize. I have two terminals on the bench and I've
mixed up the stories between the two. I swamped the tube in a second
one that did have burn-in and a very similar dim image problem. With the
new tube, it works great and so the electronics are good and it gets to
keep the new tube.
The other VT220, which is the one with the newer logic board and newer
monitor electronics has a dim image but that tube is not burned in at all.
It looks brand new. I have not swapped the tube on that unit yet.
So, sorry. I clearly confused things even for myself.

The box was an imagination, but otherwise:
"I am getting a very dim image even though the CRT itself appears to be in
very good shape with no burn-in and otherwise crisp display. I think I've
got a high-voltage problem[...]"
is in contradiction to this:
"In this case, the CRT also had a large amount of burn-in so was highly
suspecious due to that alone. "
One statement was after the other. But usually, burn-in takes longer than
that.
