When that photo was taken, I was receiving a broadcast from my in-house transmitter (Blonder-Tongue agile modulator) on rabbit ears. Haven't looked for the phantom line using another source yet, but I'll do so tomorrow.
Meanwhile, I'm glad I decided to pull the safety glass and do some cleaning. The inside of the glass was almost as grubby as the CRT face. I have never seen a screen & glass quite this dirty.

I wish I had a picture of the Zenith 16C21 I trashpicked as a teenager 31 years ago - it had an almost opaque coating of sepia cigarette "tar" almost 1/8" thick - took a whole roll of paper towels to wipe it off. That and replacing the 1K3 and it was as good as new - best low-VHF TV DX set I ever had!
