really? You must have the one chassis the was built right then, none I have ever seen made more than about 22kv. You can copy the circuit from any of the later sets to add the HV adjust pot, then you should see some improvement in brightness. Set it so the chassis puts out around 23kv with a blank raster, see if that does the trick.
Tube swapping the 6BK4 won't help, you need to change the tube bias with the HV pot.
