If the CRT tested well but the picture is dim, I would hesitate putting a brightener on it until you do some further testing to see if there's something wrong with the chassis. No sense burning out a good CRT if the problem is really somewhere else.

Have you checked the DC voltages on the CRT? Do you have a scope and a schematic with waveforms to check the video output amplitude?
