Hi, Hoping this is in the right place

I've got a 1960s/70s Philips video camera, sold to me as a Television camera but I'm not sure if it was Television or not, if anyone knows? There's no numbers on it other than its serial number.

I can't get much of a picture out of it, I can only get a faint image from aiming the camera at the CRT I'm using that's supposed to display it's output. I have very little idea of how these work, other than the CRT scanning the image onto a mosaic. I'm wondering if maybe the CRT inside is low emission hence the lack of picture?

Any ideas appreciated

Thanks
