Replace all electrolytic caps with new Panasonic of Nichicon 105 degree 
caps from a source like Digikey, Mouser, Newark or AVNet.

So... I've heard a lot of NeXT monitors get dim over time. There is a tool 
for rejuvinating CRTs. I wondere if it would work rejuvinating NeXT 
monitor to bring back brightness.

Definitely. Some monitor chassis self discharge via a resistor, so if you 
short anode to ground and don't see anything that is why.
