That sounds like a pretty great idea. There was a
long video shot shortly before Hawkeye shut down; it's interesting (for the handful of us that are obsessed with this stuff and actually understand what's going on) but I think it would be dull and way too dense for most people.
There was a
long piece on The Verge not along ago talking about vintage TVs (kinda) and that touched on the subject as well. The article was pretty much a shitshow, written by someone who appears not to understand the distinction between a CRT and a TV that uses a CRT. But it was widely circulated and discussed, and I think it's a subject that would be fascinating to a large number of people, provided it were a well told story with a narrative and so on.
I think you should try to do it.
