The 7-inch Hallicrafters sets with pushbuttons (T-54 aka 505) are fairly common. Somehow, I ended up with one of each cabinet style (metal, wood, luggable leatherette). I have a 10-inch T-67 from 1948 that performs better, although it shares the cheap pushbutton tuner.
The Dachis book lists dozens of boring post-1950 models. Hallicrafters killed their TV line around 1956, probably because nobody bought them.
If you want a TV made by a boatanchor company, hold out for a National. Better built than the Hallicrafters 7-inchers and much scarcer.
Just my $0.02.
