The Early Television Foundation website has a Classified page, which includes a "TV sets wanted" section:

You could also place a WTB ("want to buy") ad in the VideoKarma Classified section.

Harry Poster is another possibility:

Here are two eBay categories where old TVs show up:

Most of the TVs you'll find are unrestored (not working). TV restoration is not something the average Joe can learn overnight. If you don't find one that's already fully restored, you could buy an unrestored one and then pay someone to restore the electronics. This article has some advice about finding repairmen:

P.S. The name is spelled Capehart, without the extra "e."
