Well I found out at least part of the issue and should have suspect this sooner. It looks like the power supply board on this tv has a thermistor and posistor for controlling the automatic degaussing. The thermistor appears on visually but....the posistor will a picture is worth a thousand words.
The posistor was found dangling loosely between the two leads and fell off as I touched it. Somehow this failed but I do know thermistor tend to fail often on old tvs so I would assume the same is often true for posistor as they are related components.
