I also have seen some of these and the problem was a shorted diode off the flyback usually the one going to the vertical section. Also in Zeniths shorted vertical ic or tuner can cause this problem, but I learned the hard way on the first one I thought it was the fly so I repalced it and still same problem later found that shorted diode coming off the secondary of the flyback.
