Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side [Hitachi CTP213]

I would go looking for a cracked track on the circuit board around the capacitors that were replaced or on a component such as a power resistor close to those capacitors.
Tracks often begin to lift around power resistors.
One of the first places I would look for a lifted track would be that non flaming metal film resistor with the braided safety guard on it.
Open this link and type the value into the filter under the orange button and then click on the data sheet buttons and check the size of the part.

This will give you the wattage if it is not shown in the manual you have. Leave the lead outs long and fold them over onto the tracks and clean off a bit of the usually green solder mask and solder it to nice new copper so bridging any potentially damaged copper.
I am pretty sure that a track has lifted off the board.
