How about the Classic Mac COLOR tube? Bet those are hard to find.

This is a considerable “hack”, to use a microcontroller to read the early Mac kbd and mouse. BTW the Mac Plus keyboard is the same scheme AND it has “arrow keys”. Or, you can get a numeric keypad which has some additional keys which daisy-chains on the 128K/512K keyboard.

With a little futzing, you might have used the original CRT, if you could generate the proper “VGA” scan rates and tickle the CRT drive circuit to accept grey-scale instead of B/W. Where did you get the VGA class CRT mono monitor?

Very cool project..thanks for sharing your work. I love the way that old keyboard looks. It is minimalist to say the least. Great work, sir.
