Thanks Peggs I will try that tomorrow. It sounds like what I was looking for. I 
was beginning to think bad tube, but it sounds like it can be fixed. Thank 
again.

Focus control Adjusts G2 Voltage as well as Focus,then you have 'leakage'
between the G2(Screen) Grid and the Focus Grid inside the Tube.
I've used this technique numerous times to fix this problem,
With the set unplugged,and the CRT PCB off the tube,run a Jumper from
the G2 pin of the picture tube to ground,Attach one end of another jumper 
to the Focus
pin of the picture tube,the other end of the jumper to a well insulated 
screw driver.
Plug set in,turn on to let HV build,unplug the set and discharge the Anode 
onto the
Focus pin.Remove Jumper and check TV for proper G2 and Focus adjust.
Repeat if necessary.
On tubes with 2 focus pins,repeat on the second focus pin
