First of all, I was not correct in saying it was the vertical sweep.  It's the
horizontal sweep and my brain was not correctly engaged at the time I was 
making the original posting.

Second of all, very few things are cheaper to replace than fix, if you do the
work yourself.  In addition, you get the satisfaction of having done something
well, and knowledge about how things work.  Something like this, which is
probably a delaminating coil or a capacitor that is vibrating isn't difficult
at all to fix and if you find it annoying, is worth fixing.
