Driving an old electrostatic CRT with modern electronics?
Yesterday I was given an orphan 7" round CRT. It came out of an old automotive scope.

I was thinking about building something around it. I assume this CRT has a long persistance green phosphor so a computer monitor would be a better idea than a TV. Maybe an old Mac SE in a case styled after a 1940s style TV.

Is it possible to adapt a modern chassis to drive this CRT or would an old scope be a better starting point?

Pictures of the CRT to follow, I'm not at my usual PC at the moment.
