Or you could take a "perfect" digital recording and add the nostalgic
artifacts with appropriate software.

I suppose one could also simulate a CRT monitor on an LCD by using
software to add a black border, out-of-focus corner regions, vertical
and horizontal linearity variances, pincushion, and colour convergence
problems. One could also simulate EHT regulation issues by shrinking
or expanding the image when the brightness varies. An occasional
simulated HV crackle from the built-in speakers would add to the
nostalgia.
