The line is permenent. it hasn't burned into the crt. (thank god) .
I'm just at a loss. No clue what else to check.. I will double check
the solder connections. I know I see alot of broken solder points on
pinball machines and re-flowing natually fixes the problems.

"keep getting"? Like in intermittent, or permanent? Has the line
burned into the CRT yet?

Vertical problems are often due to overheating connections anywhere
between the vertical output transistor or IC and the CRT. It's a
high-current circuit which tends to overheat and expel solder from any
marginal connection. commonly happens at the IC or transistor pins,
series electrolytics, and cheap nylon connectors. The electrolytics
can go intermittent too.
