Is the pot shorted or open? A short could be pulling down a B+ line. The Crosley's with the cat-eye tunning usually fed the brightness pot from both ends.
I would expect that the contrast control (actually an IF gain in some Crosleys) could muck up the audio, but not the brightness.

OK, that is a very good clue. Use your Sam's tube pin resistance measurements and/or just trace the circuit back the B+ (or possibly B-boost) and find out where it is being lost. (Actually pull the tube first and and repower the set to see it this restores the plate voltage. This could be a simple as a shorted tube.)
If you or someone has a schematic of the video, vertical and CRT sections and could post it, it would help.
