Stay OFF the Danaher 57x series. My replacement for these is almost ready.
As for the 53310A: not sure if it pays. You would need to use an FPGA to harvest the digital data being farted out. I wanted to do it once, but never had the time. However, afaik, the video board on these units is a separate board (as per the late Jzon Geller), and some instructions in the service manual of the 53310A even give some data about the pinout.

That's something I've been thinking about for a while now. I have several instruments where I'd like to replace the CRT. I know there have been a few people in the past that have done some for specific instruments, but I don't know of a general solution. One would think that for many instruments, should be fairly easy. They usually used OEM CRT displays that had simple analog or pseudo-digital intensity signals, and standard or close-to-standard scan rates. But, for the older style oscopes where it was a classic deflection CRT with the text additions being done by vector graphics, whole different game.My 54540 really needs a new CRT, modern replacement would rock. I'll add it to my list. :)
