yoke problem
Thanks to all who replied. Yes, this set was on Ebay recently. I know I paid way too much for it but I had been wanting one of these for a long time and don't see them for sale everyday. It turns out the original owner played for the New York Highlanders/Yankees in 1912 and then became a rather famous chiropractor. At least it has an interesting history! Anyway, after recapping it and checking all resistors and replacing any that were out of tolerance I applied power and found I have a short on the B+ line. It turned out to be a short (10 ohms) between the horizontal winding in the yoke and ground. So either I have to figure out how to rewind this strange thing or find a replacement. Does anyone have a good yoke you want to sell?
