Matt,
    This sounds normal.  Most RCA sets collapse vertical deflection during
degaussing.  It is supposed to make the degaussing more effective.  I am
assuming the bright picture was a leaky luma bias transistor, I don't recall
the symbol number, but it's in the video output circuit, a small PNP
transistor.  If so, check for intermittent picture tube shorts, which can
cause this transistor to fail.
