I have 212 and 214 in my collection. Both are from the new series and do not have an on/off switch on the sync potentiometer. And both behave exactly like yours. Another special feature of them is that when the track is moved vertically, the horizontal position also changes. So if I have waveforms of the same signals, when I move one or the other track vertically, the phase seems to change. But it is intentional. I guess it improves the visibility of the signals in a two-channel display.
