Sounds like high voltage leaking, but what's weird is that the high voltage is lowest at high brightness. Do you smell any ozone gas? If so, it's definitely an HV leak. Focus voltage can do that too, and rarely it can be happening inside the CRT. If it is, usually you can see a blue glow in the neck. I hope it isn't that! I'll think it over, and will repost if I can remember anything like that I've seen on Magnavoxes.
