Can you give a reference for that. The only line store technolgy that I know of from that era was the set of capacitors and switches that the BBC used in the CO6/501 625>405 converter. I suppose it might have been possible with glass or mercury delay lines.

What you are describing is a very simple line doubler. This approach, while impressive on static pictures, can give unpleasant results on moving ones due to interlace.
