Sounds like a bad connection of some sort; dirty tube socket, or even a dirty brightness control. I'd try tapping around on the chassis, and see if it makes the picture pop on & off. IIRC, that year of Magnavox (higher end models) also has an automatic room light sensor, which can cause issues. I don't remember what Magnavox called it, but it was some catchy name indicating auto brightness. Try shutting that off (switch on the back, usually near the top with the vertical hold, etc).
