Hi Chris, your TV62 appears to have frame collapse so you need to look into the frame oscillator/output stages. The set also appears to have an Ion Trap magnet fitted, it is the clip located around the crt neck close to the base and it carries a small magnet.
Be careful about adjusting this as miss adjustment can cause you to lose the picture, panic and wonder what the hell is wrong. I have known engineers to spend hours trying to find a fault only to discover the Ion trap magnet was out of adjustment. Best wait until you have a full screen raster at least!
