Any GE experts wanna take a crack at this?

Found a probably-early-1960s vintage GE B&W unit yesterday. If I'm reading the labels right, model M742YWD. 19" screen, in a wide console-style chassis up on tall legs (about 6" angled legs).

There is one other number on the back: W109J837-3. It looks to have a switch for "automatic brightness", and a RCA jack for an external speaker, along with the normal adjustment pots and normal plugs (antenna, power, etc) on the back.

Haven't done anything with it, other than unload it into the carport. Was wondering if I should try and get it going as is... my first thought was to use the parts for other tube-related projects (power transformer, etc)... and maybe to do a "retro-mod" with a new TV and/or stereo into the console woodwork. But, this thing is kinda cool looking, as it sits... and if it's simple, it might be cool to restore it back to working condition. Wouldn't mind that, if I might have a reasonable expectation of finding someone who might want it, afterwards (I definitely don't have enough room to keep it long-term)...

Any idea on whether these are worth-while to fix, or should I just part it out?

Regards,
Gordon.
