You might have already used it, but I discovered it while trying to find a way for reducing 'Scanner Streaks' ...
I'm talking about the De-Interlace Filter.
I tried it on several pictures and the results I got, even though far from perfect, were very encouraging...
For the following example, I used the picture submitted for Restoration Challenge #38 :
1) Duplicate the Background Layer.
2) Since the De-Interlace Filter seems to be working on horizontal lines only, if the streaks in your picture are vertical, Rotate the image by 90° (either way: CW or CCW)
3) Filter->Video->De-Interlace:
Eliminate -> Odd Fields
Create New Fields by-> Interpolation
4) Rotate your image back ...
5) Change the Layer's Blending to Lighten, press "V" (Move Tool) and use the Arrow Keys to nudge your Layer until the lines have nearly disappeared.
6) Add a Layer Mask ->Hide All and using the Eraser Tool, selectively uncover the corrections.
P.S. In the example, I only worked on reducing the streaks and beside a Curves Adjustment and a light Sharpening ... No other correction has been done ...
