Philips Magnavox TV reduced to horizontal line intermittently

I have a Philips Magnavox Model TS2556 C121, Chassis 25F800 7583. When turned on, the picture is a horizontal band around the center of the screen with perfect audio and I can change channels etc. After about half an hour I get the full screen and this goes on intermittently after that. This looks like a capacitor issue (my limited electronics tell me capacitor is either charging or discharging incorrectly (or leaking). Not sure if it is the vertical or horizontal circuit that is the issue (and how to locate either) Ayy tips will be highly appreciated. Not sure if Pee Wee is still on the forums but he seems to have quite some experience with Magnavox TVs
