It's not solely a mater of DC component.

I'm not thinking it is a miracle solution, but rather a situation where every little bit helps. The Marconi is never going to perform like something newer, but if three little $0.10 parts can make it 10% better then why not? The elephant in the room with the Marconi is that the CRT is on the weak side, which already diminishes the contrast range. Which reminds me I ought to get my blonder tongue modulator up and running!
