Design Help

I don't know if this is the correct place to be posting this, but I'm considering designing my own 1950's style black and white television. Now concerning power supplies, I am under the assumption transformer supplies are better than ballasts. I'm trying to go for the highest quality possible, but I just can't find the transformer I need, and transformers that are almost what I need cost around 200 dollars (yikes). I could do a capacitor ballast so that there's no power loss in the form of heat, and that would provide DC protection, but I don't know if that would be considered a quality design choice. Any input? Also, recommendations for places online where I could find high quality, reasonably priced parts for a project like this would be nice.
