For some reason, GE used CRTs with the smallest possible cathode on some of these sets, so weak CRTs are common. Completely unlike their Portacolor and the early 1960s portable sets, which almost always have useable CRTS.
I have a 12 inch version that is of similar styling, luckily the CRT is good. Recently the sound quit. Mine has solid state sound, with tubes in other circuits. The sound IC is in a socket and the connections had corroded. Cleaning the connections fixed it.
