The vertical sweep circuit has failed.
Can't say that its because of being stored, but it is a common problem on CRT TV's. Something in that circuit has failed: The IC chip, one of the electrolytic capacitors (actually those do dry out over time and may well be your problem) or the power source from the flyback transformer may be out. Some or all of these may be involved. The good news is that all these parts are cheap and this repair is always worth doing.
Hope that ya fix it!

I would have the TV repaired, sounds like it has some good years left in it. I draw the line at 10 years old. My experiance is to not put money into a TV that is over ten years old. TVs stress out their electronic components worse than almost any other electronic product. After 10 years, there are so many parts that are ready to fail that your are probably wasting your money trying to get any more life out of it.

If you have any experience in soldering components, you may be able to fix the TV by simply locating the loose connections, near the vertical defletion circuit.
