Buzz coil CRT

I have a very large collection of buzz coils, which would have been used in early automobiles for there ignition. I salvaged a CRT from a b+w tv, and decided to experiment.

But this is pulsed alternating current, not useful for a CRT picture tube. This tube needs, I guess, 10 kV DC for the accelerator high voltage.
Has the tube a recognition code? When you search on it you might find the characteristic voltages.
