If I still have one of those kicking around I'm not aware of it.

But I seldom remember going to any flea market--such as the ones held a few times a year in Brimfield, MA (east of Springfield) where I didn't see at least one Mallory TV-101 UHF converter waiting for a home. They were extremely popular starting in the early '50s, and were in common use until the mid '60s, just after the government mandate for all set makers to include built-in UHF provisions in '64 model sets.

As for today's outboard digital converters for older sets what I have seen look pretty grim; they don't lock in worth a bucket of warm spit, and some of them die altogether after about 6 months. They're all cheap Chinese garbage from what I can see. I ended up buying a Sony flat screen that pulls the digitals in very well. As for available converters I invite any of you to come forth with one with which you've had good experience--especially in fringe areas.
