I highly doubt if a sync separator tube would cause a no horizontal sweep/no HV problem. Does the horizontal output tube 6BQ6 get really hot? If so, there is little or no horizontal drive to it, or also in that case it could also be a shorted flyback. Pull the cap off of the HV rectifier tube (1B3), and see if you can draw an arc with a insulated screwdriver off the lead from the flyback. If the 6BQ6 runs somewhat cool, then maybe there is a problem with the power supply, causing no B+ voltage to the horizontal stage. Also what about the horizontal osc tube, and it's components. Another thought, would be a shorted out "bathtub" HV capacitor under the 1B3/1G3 HV rectifier tube. Is there a separate fuse for the horizontal stage? Do you have the schematic for the set, and if not many times you can find them on the web for free, maybe from the early television website.

Also I'm sure you will have to re cap the set, which is fairly easy if your good at soldering, just very time taking.
Good luck, portholes are definitely a unique type of TV.
