Rejuvenating VT320 monitors?

Chuck,

  Those kits are usually just a simple autotransformer that boast the
filament voltage by 30% or so. Since it's a transformer it will work on
any AC voltage within reason. You just have to find one that matchs the CRT
plug. FWIW if those terminals have a cover over the CRT, take it off and
clean it and the front of the CRT. It's surprising how much dust gets in
between them over the years.
