Yes, amd a fresnel screen would help even more. Sometimes old cameras have something to teach you. You just need patience before you jump to the next one. On these TLRs you need to get your face right down on the hood, especially in bright light. I think your problem my be not managing outside flare rather than a dim screen. Tripods and TLRs get along well together. Make a hood with your hands. I've also used a t-shirt draped over my head. Do all this with your magnifier flipped out. Once you have you are done with critical focus, you can back off a bit for composition.Taking the top off and cleaning was the first thing I did. Would a different ground glass show a brighter picture?
