That is a very collectible TV. I worked on at least two for neighbors, one had a red case and the other white, like yours. Neither one had UHF.
We had a rural appliance dealer that sold only GE, so it must have been an irresistable bargain to get a novelty TV for $100 in those days. Nobody shopped around then.

I don't remember much being wrong with them but I did buy a Sams (set 695?) for the first one because I was baffled by the sheer simplicity of it, I was also 13 and fixed both, so it had to be easy issues, DC power supply and the usual tuner cleaning, IIRC.
