Keep up a regular ebay watch, as they do turn up, but you might have to travel quite a ways to get it. Most of the time if something good turns up on there somebody will post a link to the tv forums here.
Your description best fits combos from the late 60s or early 70s. Try to be patient, as they do turn up. Since they are so big and heavy the original owner really had to be determined if they were going to toss it out! Many are still sitting unused in living rooms, covered in faded photographs of children taken back in '71.
It never hurts to ask around at the older tv repair shops in your neighborhood. As with the above advice on estate sales, find the places that have been in the same location since at least the 60s. No telling what they might have stashed away.
You are in what seems to be an ideal location for tv collecting, and there don't seem to be many active collectors from New England.
I would also suggest dropping a line to Harry Poster; he buys/sells vintage sets and is located in NJ. He is a member on here.
