Hi
Sonys (Sonies?!) are notorious for dry-joints - three pin regulators anf the frame IC especially. If your set has its IF panel in a metal box similar to (and beside) the tuner, then the two coils in it can become dry-jointed. Unfortunately it needs to be removed to gain access. I wouldn't expect the CRT base connections to cause the sound to fail.
