Thanks Ron!

Looking into that I found a part of the problem

The pcb on the neck had a hairline crack in it, with some solder and wire I fixed it but now I see white and lots of it, It looks like all the colors are there and everything (behind the white). There is no way to get it set without looking whitewashed and faded. It looks like the video pcb is fine I traced all of the leads. Where should I start and what does all this white mean, voltage problem maybe?

: tube short problem.

: :Now heres the weird part, I can get more :brightness out of it by turning the focus :knob... Jiggling the neck pcb gives me :brightness from time to time too.
