While your problem sounds a lot like bad filter caps, there is one thing I would check first. The bending and weaving can also be caused by a heater to cathode short in a tube. This could explain why the picture got worse when you turned the set back over. I would start with the tubes in the RF and IF sections, but I would quickly check all the tubes, since a short in almost any tube could cause this symptom to some extent. Also check all ground connections.
Good luck, have fun
