have one monitor. I haven't tried

monitors, so I'm not sure what a dim image is suppose to indicate.
Failing HV drive circuitry?
Hi
HV would cause blooming of the image. Dim image is weak cathode
in the tube or problems in the circuits controlling the cathode
to gate voltage levels.

So... if its the tube, there's nothing to do but replace the tube?
Egads... I wonder how hard it would be to find a compatible
replacement.
