i had a K-3 and it became defective by the time i shot my third roll
with it (had this same frame-line problem you describe). yes, it
created some cool unpredictable experimental effects, but it was
totally unreliable for any other use. everyone i know who has ever
owned one has had some complaint or another. i really don't
recommend this camera to anyone, unless you are using it as a "toy"
purely for effects. there is a reason why they sell for so little
money!

enjoy today...
