Yeah that looks like a great start, especially with how the NTSC signal is generated and interpreted. I don't see much around simulating the electron beam and its interaction with the phosphors and front of the tube though. I imagine a truly accurate physical simulation would need to use monte carlo methods or similar techniques, almost like an advanced 3D renderer does for global illumination.
