The Macs that had the huge built-in DVI plug could use an adapter that had composite video (Yellow) or an S-Video cable to get video from the Mac to the TV.
The problem you are going to find is that the picture on the tube is really fuzzy, or at least in my experience it is.
IIRC, when last I tried, the fuzzies were the name of the game. Way back w/ the PCI video card (I *think* using an S-video cable), there was a resolution that was usable... of course nowadays whatever video that was will be too underpowered to work (and won't fit anyway). It's for a system in the guest room, and I'd rather get rid of the old TV, even in favor of a 15" Sony CRT monitor, our last surviving CRT monitor, which at least plays nice at 1024 X 768, or possibly 1280 X 960. Heck, I'd rather get rid of both and use a hand-me-down LCD, but until then I was hoping something *might* drive the TV effectively, though it doesn't sound good...
