Default Any cure for fading FL displays ?

Hello,

I have an older audio timer, AKAI DT-320 (around 1983), whose FL display
has aged over the years of usage and become faint. Compared to the tuner
and tapedeck of the stereo (same year/series) it is tremendously darker
which I think is related to the fact that the audio timer display is
always powered on while the tuner/tape ones only when they are acutally
in use.

So, I wonder whether there is anything one can do to rejuvenate those
vaccuum fluorescent diplays:

Thanks !
