In my humble opinion, the best b&w sets ever were about 21inch, rectangular, and 70 degree deflection. RCA's and Zeniths are good , but so are lots of other things. Sets meeting this description tend to come in tall skinny cabinets, and are dirt cheap, too. All else being equal, look for a power transformer and a high tube count. Think 1953 or 1954. A replacement CRT with an aluminized screen is a big plus. By this time they were finally making a bunch of sets without doors, so they actually look like TV sets.
