It might be a problem with the vertical blanking. Perhaps a bad bypass cap or zener bias diode in the vertical circuitry. It might be a piece of dust in the green gun or maybe the mask. I think this type of problem is called a "ghoul". Is it a fuzzy spot or does it have a sharp outline or partly either on one side or the other?
