Let's see who will win the race to make the first clock with these tubes :-).
I still wonder how it will scan a character, do you set the "X-Y" voltages for the character and then perform a scan of the character, or do you scan a series of characters slice by slice? If you want your signal to be compatible for a PAL TV, I think you have to scan a row of characters slice by slice, but that would make it more complicated than scanning character by character.
