The set has a very very good picture other than this.I got bored and started unsoldering caps and checking them on a cap checker/bridge. I found two that were bad. Now that I have replaced them with tested good caps, I am left with only a brighter than the rest of the screen white line about in the center of the screen. I now have a "Sam's" small magazine that people wrote in with problems and "Sam's" would discuss possible solutions. For A bright line They Said It was the horiz. output tube being overbiased. My set should run -25 volts and mine is running currently -18v. I do not have a scope to see if it could be getting to much AC in the bias.Could this be it?
