I have no idea, but I'm not surprised. Running without the yoke doesn't seem wise, as the system is tuned to resonate one half cycle during retrace with the yoke connected, and it's hard to tell if disconnecting will put less or more stress on the horizontal output and damper. I think it would be worth the effort to make extender cables.
