What kind of angle is on the tube? (is it 90? or something less?)

Nope, it's an HP X/Y non-storage scope. It was designed to be used as
an X/Y monitor with a frequency response similar to a 20mhz scope, if
I recall correctly. All you have to do is take the top of this thing
to see a very obvious, statically deflected CRT. It has no yoke, and
no ability to store anything. Just X/Y size and offsets, focus and
azimuth adjustments on front, and X,Y and Z inputs on the back.
