I just tossed one of those TX82 13" sets in the trash without even removing the back cover. IIRC, there is one transistor (TP15 board location) that would fail and cause a dead set. Otherwise, they were a pain in the butt. Also, the filter capacitor in these sets will hold a charge that will shock the crap out of you.
Concerning the set here, it looks like a motel TV. I've seen some motel TV's just like this and some had built in AM/FM radios.
I think I've seen a couple of GE-branded lower end CTC130 consoles from '87 or so that still had a single knob varactor tuner. I have a 19" GE CTC136 from '87 that uses a standard two-knob rotary tuner.
