You could get it and think of it as a practice set. For the price of a few capacitors, you can get some experience restoring a TV. If that works out and you want to upgrade to a more interesting set, give it away to someone and move on. That's what I did with one of my early TV projects. It was fun to work on at the time, and I learned some good things, but I didn't miss it a bit after it was gone and I had room for something nicer.
Other pluses: a TV of that vintage should be simpler to restore than a really early set, and easier to get working well.
