Toshiba 25" CRT TV
Model 25E3DH

Picture totally dark and blurry for the the first half hr or so from a cold start (ambient 30C (86F), 80% RH). Gradually picture quality is regained to 100%. Sound is normal and there are no other clicks or zaps from within the TV. I have opened it up and tried to speed up the warmup with a hair dryer aimed at all areas of main circuit board and CRT board but picture did not immediately show any improvement (although I'm not sure how long I should've applied the heat).

I've read elsewhere on this forum that capacitors in the power supply section responsible for picture focus tends to drift with temperature changes once aged so I'm hoping someone can help me confirm this and identify which cap I should be looking at replacing......

Thanks in advance!

Some pics of the internals...

turned out to be oxidation on the high voltage wire connection inside the CRT socket.... replacing the socket did the job! credit however goes to my local tv guy - he told me the humid weather was to blame.

Here's a shot of the old socket - notice all the gunk on the solder post:
