I'd first try checking or replacing the higher voltage electrolytic off of the B+ line near the HOT or flyback. They were always just dried out, but visually looked fine. Probably a 250v cap, 10 to 22uF, but I just don't know for sure on your Sony.
+1.

I'm re-capping my daily watcher. Picture had poor contrast, long nasty streaks to the right of bright images, would get brighter toward the right side and the colors were pretty bad. Swapping out the 22uF 350V filter near the fly wiped all this clean.
