My friend, if your set plays fine other than vertical retrace lines when the brightness is set too high; I would leave it alone. A lot of early sets had retrace lines I imagine from the factory. This is acceptable performance for what you have if manageable.By manageable I mean that you can pretty much get rid of them by a picture adjustment at user level. The circuitry generally wasn't all that refined in the average consumer set of the say 50s. We must remember that the technology of the times for television was really new.

Yeah, I'd turn down the brightness, button it up and sit in a chair and enjoy!
