it is a modern set but the cure is the same.
you may just let it run awhile to clean up a poisoned cathode.
running the heaters 50%higher than normal awhile may help.
i have one of those and it looked bad till it ran overnight.now 10 seconds and its at full brightness.beware that these tubes may have a very low heater voltage and could be easy to blow open.
