Sadly doesn't work anymore as it was dropped and damaged. Found it at an ewaste site with the idea to build an ITX pc inside with a little DIY digital oscilloscope replacing the screen connected to the audio out so you can see the wave form as you listen to music or play games

Oof, I imagine that could’ve gone south - glad you’re still with us. Most scope CRTs tend to use voltages around 2-3kV (Tek scopes usually use 1.8kV accelerators). I’ve even got a scope that uses a specialized CRT that uses a 9kV tube (Tek 317) - definitely something scary to mess around with!
