I don't have a current version of Photoshop, but I do have the GIMP and there's a tileable blur feature that lets you choose a vertical blur or horizontal blur or both. It's kind of neat. I figured that since the lines are horizontal, if I blurred things in the vertical axis, I could get rid of them without losing so much detail.
Here's an exaggerated sample of each.

No worries. I already have a nice print hanging on my wall, and I have the negative somewhere, so I could always get it professionally scanned. I just wanted an easy decent quality digital copy. But the scanner I used was a low quality one (Printer/scanner/copier/card reader/fax machine all in one.)
I just figured it would be a good exercise trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
