I have a Westinghouse that's very similar to yours, but has slightly different controls. It, too, has the automatic tuning... press the "bar" to change the station.
The chassis in mine looks pretty good, but the damn yoke cover has disintegrated and left parts on the crt neck quite loose... just dangling there.
This is common in many sets of the 50's. Mine is also missing the safety glass.
If you can take a peek inside and notice something that looks like black ash on the chassis under then CRT neck, then yours has the same issue.
