If that's the case, then you very well might have some cold solder joints in that area on the board. That would actually make even more sense than just bad caps, as bad caps are usually enough to have at least some effect. Total loss of pincushion sounds like a broken connection.
Go over any place on the PCB that looks "dark" or different very carefully with new solder and make sure it's all reflowed.
Also reflow anything that is big and heavy (like the flyback and big resistors) or connectors (because they get stressed).
It's also likely that the caps need to be checked though.

The tube has a an Orion sticker but it was actually manufactured by Matsushita.

Andy and Matt's database claim that it is fully an Orion set that was rebranded with a Toshiba badge. But you don't have to take my word for it.
