Look for a brightness pot on the back of the monitor. Or, you can adjust the "screen" which is on the flyback. Be careful, there are high voltages back there. The screen will be on a black thing that has a wire coming from the top to a suction cup on the tube. On that black thing (flyback) there will be two knobs. One is focus, the other is screen. Screen will make it brighter or darker. BE CAREFUL back there!

Look for the volume control first to make sure it isn't turned down. I am having a hard time remembering where the volume is on that cab. It's either inside the coin door or it's on the PCB. I forget.
