Welcome!
There are many collectors on the east coast (not me though) so I'd imagine you should be able to find a restored 50's set for sale. These sets often do need service every 6 months to 3 years when used as daily drivers so it may be a good idea to get some tube radios to practice repair on, and eventually work your way into TVs, if you don't have a willing tech near you to keep it going. Other pluses of learning electrical restoration include not having to locate a tech if and when you fall in love with some local unrestored set you happen upon, and there is an addictive feeling of joy/accomplishment when one succeeds at fixing a set one has put a lot of effort in to or when one successfully tracks down a tough bug. There is lots of good info, and good folks here.
