The info may not be useful, but it’s fun trivia. Our first tv was a small Philco B&W about the size of my laptop. It had rabbit ears also. Made cool sounds when it was turned on & off - kind of like old 1950s sci-fi sounds. Later on, we used those as sound effects on an album ♬

We had a bigger one growing up, can’t remember the actual size, was on a stand though, remember that, not really big though, remember watching a lot of cartoons on it, creature features stuff, Dark Shadows (had to sneak that though, was told I couldn’t watch that, it ‘gave me nightmares’, but never had a single one…), probably a 13 inch, give or take. Can’t remember the brand though. Worked really well, was a lot of baseball games played on that, growing up.

Was raised in Jersey, so the Met’s and the Yankees were the 2 big teams that got watched a lot, and we normally were able to get a pretty good picture of those most of the time. Of course, that was before the advent of cable and things like ESPN, and that all got monitized…
