Problem with Little Admiral

Hello,

I found this little Admiral Portable at a salvation Army and had to bring it home. Sadly it is Made in Taiwan . After a lot of cleaning, I took a look at the insides and aside from the UHF tuner and HV rectifier, it is all tube, the tubes are even all original Admiral, suprising for an "Instant Play" set.

It is Model 9P209, Chassis TL2-1A

Well as you can see in the photo, the set has a horizontal problem, displaying as many as 4 pictures at once, and looking in my TV books, I'm guessing one thing I could do is to adjust a horizontal control, but they aren't any. The set only has 6 controls (Bright, Contrast, Y Hold, H Hold, V Linerty, and Height), and find any more on the chassis or on the outside.

All tubes are good, i tried subbing the Sync, and the Horizontal Osc tubes with no affect on the picture.

Thanks for any help, I have some knowledge of mostly Tube radio and a little TV repair, I have over 10 vintage TVs, but only 3 that work, and I am going to be trying to get more working soon, hopefully with the help of the people here.
