Are there retrace lines on the screen when it goes bright?
Possibly a CRT starting to short out.

Sometimes a little gentle tapping on the CRT neck with a plastic screwdriver handle will cause it to show up.

Another possibility is a bad solder connection on the video board, tapping on that will also help isolate it.
