That is a very good deal especially considering all the new parts.
I restored a GE 805W which is very similar to yours.
Yours folks refer to as the "double D" because of the way the left
and right sides of the CRT face bulges outward revealing more CRT surface.
All of the models in this series are also called the "GE Locomotives" because
they resemble a train locomotive.

The controls in these GE models are not strongly constructed. There are a
lot of Electrolytic Capacitors to replace but when done that little GE puts out a
very nice picture.

One tip given to me when I was restoring mine was to remove the rubber CRT mask and
wash it with dishwashing detergent and it will clean up to a like new pretty green.
The metal on the front is solid brass and will polish nicely with Brasso - then spray
it with clear lacquer to keep it looking bright. I took some red paint and smeared
across the lettering on the bezel pieces, let it dry for a few minutes then wiped
off - that restored the lettering. Can't remember if I did that before or after
I sprayed clear lacquer. Course, that Bakelite case will polish out looking
fantastic too - Novus 2 and 3, or Brasso works great.

I like this TV because it has old school quality we don't see today - solid brass,
real glass protecting the CRT, attractive looks.

Another tip given me ... as soon as you extract the chassis, put a piece of
cardboard over the Speaker to protect it. It is so easy to punch out the paper
cone with one of your fingers while moving the chassis.
