It looks like B+ is coming up slowly. The brightness control and the vertical sweep section seem to get power from the same line. Can you measure it while the TV is warming up?
I will give the schematic a look at this circuit to try and see where the brightness control and vertical sweep section get their B+ from and see if I can ID any issues from that common point back.
