Not an expert, but there might be an adjustment screw to increase power to the electron gun.
This will shorten whatever life remains.
When I first got mine, I too was a little disappointed in the brightness of the picture. But, situated away from the window, I did get used to it. A nice antidote to modern bright LED.
I figure when it eventually dies, I'll customize the chassis and glass to hide a VGA LCD within it, to preserve that cool look.
