Sony RX100 Work Without Lens?

I have an old studio television camera from 1968, that includes an impressive zoom lens. Due to the old electronics, it is impossible to make the camera functional using original parts. However, the imager on that old camera is the same size as the imager on the Sony RX100. Is it possible to remove the lens from an RX100 and still have the camera function without displaying any trouble codes? The RX100 body could then be mounted at the focal plane inside that studio television camera and generate an image using the RX100. I have done this successfully with the Nikon J1 camera body, but there is no way to set the display for image-only. Thank you very much. Dave
