Yes, I needed a new brake booster.
I found a used brake booster at a local "recycler" ("recycler" does sound better than scrap yard) for $100 plus taxes and installed it using the following videos.

Not one of my favourite jobs. When I got to the point where I had to pull the master cylinder and the ABS controller out of the way I was sure that I was going to break one of the steel brake lines... but I got it apart and back together again without incident. Worth it to not have to bleed the brake and clutch lines.
This morning I did a road test and was able to brake hard enough to get the ABS system to activate and chirp the front tires.
