Regarding the connector, that should be only a mechanical adaptation issue - the output signal has been standardized since the first industrial cameras came out. Some cameras may have an output that is more than the standard 1 volt peak to peak, but that easily can be attenuated.
And thirdly, a quick trial with a working CCD unit if that is what's available, then chasing a tube unit that might need repair, DOES make sense.
Really, I think you have an excellent chance of success.

I really appreciate your advice! Thanks, I realize I'm a complete neophyte in this area.
I was looking for any examples of people using older tube TV cameras for modern recording, and not seeing any. I see lots of collectors of old TV camera equipment, and lots of old footage of shows that were clearly made using that equipment back in the day, but is no one using vintage TV equipment for modern purposes at all? Looked on Youtube, saw nothing. Same with a Google search. Anybody know of any videos made recently with older equipment?
