    I've been looking for a Video Overlay Card to do that, TV output 
must look quite stunning on an AppleColor RGB (still, to date, the 
nicest CRT for color I've seen yet).

    Actually the AppleColor RGB used a Mitsubishi picture tube with
dot mask. The ones made between 1986 and 1988 look the nicest, with
that extremely dark tinted screen (newer ones also used Mitsubishi
tubes, but they weren't dark tinted and had fairly mediocre looking
color). After Apple replaced my RGB with an 1990 model, I spent a
couple of years tracking down another old one. I fixed the brightness,
focus and voltage to the color guns and now it looks as good as new.
(I have another three, but one has bad convergence, the other has
a blown flyback transformer and/or microfractured tube and the final 
one is that gross 1990 model I mention above).
