I had one of those GE's, 1953, IIRC. I rescued it at a yard sale here in my own neighborhood for $1.50. Do you have the matching wood base it sits on? My rescued one was complete, with original caps, knobs, tubes and flyback. After a recap (14 caps total) and a reform of the electrolytics, I fired it up to a vertical hold problem, solved by adjusting the vertical height back to where it belonged. It ran for two evenings (one by mistake!) and I gave it away to another local collector who had room for it. Since then, only a sound problem has popped up, more likely an AGC issue.
Great find, great set, and a breeze to recap. I'd replace the electrolytics and the selenium rectifier - I didn't, but I recommend it for reliability.
Cheers,
