High Performance B&W TV

[skillybob]

Like maxhifi , this has been a question that has been on my mind . I am relatively new to this hobby/addiction and am looking for my next project. Since I am the world's slowest technician , it will be awhile , so I have time to scout around for the next victim. My next set should be a stand alone television without radio or phonograph. At the present time , I have no interest in color , so I am looking for a set that is 'as good as it gets' for b/w. I'm not looking for anything that is rare or hard to find, just a solid performer. Anybody got a specific make and chassis to look out for? As a side note, there is a user on this forum (John Marinello) that has an avatar of a set that I just can't get over. I don't know anything about the chassis or performance of 'Byron' but for looks I think that's 'about as good as it gets'.
