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.

Macrovision copy protection existed on both VHS and DVD. Only some recordings had it, some players and external boxes eliminated it. Older TVs (pre-1980) sometimes were bothered by it.
