You need one of 2 things.
1. A DVD player with modulated RF output. I suspect not many of these were made... if any.
2. An external modulator such as the one in the picture. It takes composite video, and L/R Audio and modulates the information on to usually Channel 3 or 4.
The modulators were produced by the gazillions when things like DVDs and VCRs stopped installing internal modulators and folks still had old tv,s that excepted only RF input (or had a limited number of inputs). Just search Ebay for Television RF modulator. You can now get them for very little money.
Now .. like I said i'm brand new to the "old tv" scene. Is there something about a B&W set where this will not work? I don't think so but perhaps someone more knowledgeable will chime in. I vaugely remember something about copyright protection messing with the signal to prevent duplication but I think that was on VCRs.
