I recently picked this monitor up, it was pretty clean on the outside. However when I hooked it up, it was MUCH dimmer than the princeton EGA monitor i already had. The picture is fuzzy also, it seems out of focus. The power LED is flaky. it usually stays off, but if i lightly whack the side of the monitor with my palm, it turns on until i fiddle with the knobs again.
So far I've tried adjusting both the brightness and contrast knobs (yes I know the middle knob pulls out). There are two adjustment holes in the rear, i've adjusted them with a small phillips screwdriver and haven't noticed much of a difference.
Is there anything I can do? Or is the CRT just worn out?
Note, in the photo below its actually dimmer in person than the photo makes it out to be.
