I remember those little critters. They did tend to develop vertical issues after warmup. Usually bad capacitors. And yes, they get hot! Zenith had a small 12 inch that got very hot also. If I remember, the Zenith used a silicon diode to reduce the filament voltage. The diode would short and blast out one of the tuner tube filaments.
I also admired how simple the circuit was and how complicated the chassis was physically on that GE. Does the flyback "sing" after it gets hot?
