This is because there was a vertical deflection failure of some type, and
the user left
the set running. After the set is serviced, there is a scan burn in the
phosphors of the CRT. This type of damage is not reversible without putting
in a new CRT.

when looking in the dump I will often see a television with horizontal
line burn in and some thrift stores have tee vees that when you turn
them on all you see is a horizontal line. How come you never see a
vertical line.
