Have you checked the B+ circuits in the set? An open input filter capacitor would yield low B+ and the symptoms (Low/No Vert sweep, 120Hz hum in audio) you describe would be the result. The input filter cap is going to be a two or more section can capacitor, usually rated at more than 350V.

I'd start by measuring the B+ feed to the vertical circuit, and trace it back to the power supply if it is low.

Cheers,
