Model 102T17 . Note the rabbit ear antenna sitting atop the set. It was very common to use a rabbit ear antenna in an urban environment where the signal strength was strong. This particular set was made in 1958.

Model 102T17  - Eureka..., it works! It's impossible to go back to watching b/w television after being exposed to colour since the mid 1950s, Some stations simulcast in both digital and NTSC formats. Here, the set  shown is receiving off the air programming from CTV  Halifax, on channel 10 . Global Halifax transmits on channel 20. but that's a UHF channel and out of range for this set.

Model 102T17 showing the CRT deflection coils and the ion trap magnets. Ions emitted by the filament in the CRT were deflected by the magnets .to prevent them from burning the phosphor on the CRT face,

Model 102T17 with high voltage compartment exposed. In most TVs, this box contained the horizontal output stage, the damper tube and the high voltage rectifier. Depending on the size of the CRT, the HV rectifier provided anywhere from 12 to 20 kilovolts to the second anode of the CRT. Servicmen had to be very aware of this potential shoick hazard when servicing this or any other set.
