Unlikely. The interference from the electric motor just worked because analog TVs used to recieve a (weak) analog signal via antenna. That doesn't apply to the HDMI/RF connector. I suspect the CRT might not be able to deal with the HDMI converter's line frequency. Also., I don't know if the CRT has a separate composite input - if you go in via the antenna input be sure to set the converter to RF, not to composite output if possible. Composite and RF signal are not the same.
That may be right, like I said Im not an expert. But when I was a kid we had a tv that misbehaved when the washing machine was working even when watching through composite.
