Would like some help on building a tube circuit.

[Patnukem]

I have two projects in mind I would like to build, I will just start with the first one. I would like to make a Music/voice wave form visualizer (horizontal) with a small electrostatic screen (between 2 and 4 inches with a neck that is not too long). I would like to keep the parts as minimal as possible and try to use only circa 1950's or earlier technology. I know how to do this with a monitor with a yoke but never have worked with electrostatic crt's before. I assume that I would need some sort of isolation transformer on the audio input to combine the left and right channels into one. Basically this would be the same as a stripped down oscilloscope. the basic idea done on a tv set can be seen here.
