Unless proved otherwise, your CRT heater is probably receiving the proper voltage/current. Is the neck glow a normal red/orange color?

I would investigate the main chopper power supply, on transformer T624's secondary, is the 120V DC line at the proper value?

Other members here probably have experience & advice about this Sony BE-2A chassis and ideas as to why your image is dim.

Hello and thanks for the reply, I took the measurements with a Sanwa XY360 analog multimeter, the color of the filament is dark red, not very bright, then I will try to measure the 120 Volt line, then I will let you know.
